Good show. It's gets more exciting when you do the narrow frames and you have to crawl under it since the tunnel covers don't come off. Thanks for the video. Ken
My old lawnboy/gilson creeps backwards until it gets up to temp, I keep trying to go the easy route without removing the seat pan and fenders because the tweaking bolts are behind the brake disc and above the axle, so I keep adjusting the drag link one turn at a time. It creeps less but I’m almost out of threads
I have an early 90s cub 1440, trying to figure out the hydrostatic drive lever is so stiff while the tractor running. It moves smooth as butter when not running. It's so stiff it almost bends the lever when trying to drive it. Any ideas?
Lubricate the mechanism at the dash tower, where the cross rod pivots. Remove the tunnel cover for transmission and lubricate the control linkages at the hydro there. You will also notice a bushing that may be worn there where the main control rod connects to the hydro control plate.
@SolunaGarage Thank you so much. I tried before, but it was stuck. I banged on it a bit with the hamme tonight.. It slid forward and exposed the dip stick! You're awesome. I've been trying to fill the rear up for 2 years.
Yup, you have manual hydro relief valves, under the tunnel cover. There should be a lever on the side of the cover that engages the two valves to allow you move the unit.
