       Hydrostatic

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Wife has been whining about how the big mower with hydrostatic
       transmission has been slower the last couple years  :P.  I
       usually wait till the drive belt wears out aka breaks till I
       replace.
       After she used the other mower to finish her sections the other
       day ( aka big rider broken blade ) she really noticed it and the
       whine got alittle louder.  ;D
       I was looking at some belts I had in the barn and came inside to
       look the numbers up. Dag nab if one of them didnt come back to
       be a brand new drive belt for the big mower.  :'(  I must have
       bought one in years past to have just in case it broke.
       So being caught up on stuff. I pulled the deck and got to it.
       :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
       Put the new drive belt on and told the wife to see what she
       thinks. IMO it hadnt helped any as far as speed  :-X :-\.  The
       other belt was showing signs of wear though.
       Well I parked it and wrote it off.
       I couldnt leave well enough alone so I started searching for
       adjustments for Hydrostatic Transmissions.
       Hydrostatic Transmission Ground Speed Adjustment - Riding Mowers
       NOTE:  These instructions are prepared for use by trained
       technicians who are experienced in the service and repair of
       equipment of the kind described in this publication, and are not
       intended for use by untrained or inexperienced individuals. Such
       individuals should seek the assistance of an authorized service
       center. Please visit our Authorized Service Center Directory to
       make arrangements with a service provider in your area.
       Hydrostatic transmissions feature control rod linkage from the
       speed control lever (or foot pedal on some models) to the
       hydrostatic transmission. This control rod connects to the
       hydrostatic transmission at a regulator valve, which determines
       the rate of fluid flow through the transmission and the output
       speed to the wheels. This regulated travel limits the range of
       the transmission valve. These control rods are adjustable. By
       rotating the threaded linkage connector ferrules, the length and
       the resulting range of movement at the regulator valve can be
       altered. Please refer to the tractor Operator's Manual and
       associated parts diagrams for more information on the location
       and identification of these linkages on a particular model/style
       of tractor.
       If the control valve is adjusted to maximum position (either
       forward or reverse) and the ground speed still seems slow, then
       the transmission may need internal service. Internal bypass
       valves may need to be inspected and low fluid levels, fluid
       contamination or clogged filters corrected to return the
       transmission to peak operating performance. Please visit our
       Authorized Service Center Directory to make arrangements with a
       service provider in your area to have your equipment serviced.
       Did the adjustments and she  :-X :o now. Told speedy dont wreck
       the dang thing.  ;D :D

       Guy that brought in the partner chainsaw. Was complaining of his
       hydrostatic slowing up over the years.
       I just smiled.  Told him get his model number and go to makers
       website for info the way I learned.  I also told him about the
       above I found on mine on how to do it.
