That's for every ones input.

Could have been a number of things. Just nice going into it knowing the possible causes.

Thanks again

New little issue has sprong up. After not so long driving about the hydrostatic gets weaker and weaker till it stops.

Is it worth fixing it or putting gears on it as I have 2 gearboxs kicking around.

Check it's got the right oil in and enough of it. If it has a filter make sure it's clean. Some have a fan to cool the oil. It sounds like its nackered and stops working when the oil thins.

It could be the hydrostatic box, they do sometimes fail.

 

They can sometimes be given a new lease of life with an oil change. A synthetic 5w30 is ideal but expensive, 10w 40 semi synthetic will do the job, especially on a worn box.

 

But before condemning the hydrostatic box check that the box is being driven by the belt, if the belt is slack or worn it can slip on the pulley as it warms up and not drive. Also the splines holding the pulley to the input shaft wear and then the pulley spins on the shaft.

 

Easy to check this by getting someone to drive it whilst you observe the pulley from behind. If the pulley stops revolving as the load comes on it is a belt or pulley issue. If the machine ceases to move but the pulley keeps rotating then it is a gearbox problem.

What I've seen is the fins on the pulley arnt all there so I think the oil is getting to hot.
