Ok an update if anyone is interested. I got my drive problem fixed. Bottom line, what it turned out to be is the seat for the charge pump relief valve was damaged and leaking bad enough that the right side would run out of fluid. And I only had to tare the motor down five times to find it :). On...

Do you ever get this fixed if so, how. I am having almost the same problem with my 2500.

Freeing up the check valves fixed the right side and I checked the left side before I pulled it back out. But now the O ring came out of the charge pump so I have to get it apart.

No they are mirror image. It has to be in the drive motor. I pulled the top off the gear box and you can see the gears turn when you turn the hubs and try to move when it is first fired up. You can also see the oil level because the return oil from the drive pump is used to lube the gear box.

No the right side is fine. Forward/reverse and you can see it change speeds. Before it snapped I had slow movement on the left side. After replacing the pin I had it for about 2 revolutions and then it stopped. (No noise this time) If I let it sit for half an hour it will turn about a quarter...

Update: I replaced the pin holding the shift lever to the swash plate, reinstalled the Pump/drive motor. I still have no drive. I took the hose lose going into the pump and have fluid and didn't see any air. I rechecked my relief valves and they are both seated. Can someone tell me what the...

I have them on my list but all I see is complete motors. Golden Eagle has all the parts I need.

As long as I have it apart I saw a couple of seals that I would like to replace (save all my new fluid). If he has to order them I found a place on line and will get them there. I know what you're saying about the dealer. the lift pump runs off a lovejoy connector he wanted $35 for the rubber...

When I first heard it that's what I thought it was. It sounded like it broke the chain. It is up on blocks and the wheels and tires are under the bench so she aint going now where. But now I back to my original problem.... parts. My local dealer doesn't sound to interested in me because its no a...

Tazza, I took it off the machine and could push it back in but it was hard. I put it back on for now because I got bigger problems. I was thinking there might be a check valve in it somewhere.

New day new problem. Flushed as much old fluid out as I could New filter new fluid. It all looked good both sides were working forward and reverse. I let it run for about 5 min. to bleed the air out of the system when I heard a bang. The left hydro motor stopped working. I pulled the motor back...

Ok the new guy has another stupid question. Do hydraulic cylinders lock up? I took one end of each cylinder loose from the machine to try and flush as much oil as I could before changing. One of the cylinders that raises the arms will not move. With a come along and both hoses off it will not...

Ok Thanks

Ok the new guy has another stupid question. Don't know if I should start a new post for this or not. Do hydraulic cylinders lock up? I took one end of each cylinder loose from the machine took the hoses lose and moved the cylinders in and out to recover my missing oil. One of the cylinders that...

Yea I think I'm going to go with the cheep oil and see what happens. I only bought it as a toy for the stuff that won't fit under the lawn mower (flowers what flowers, I didn't see no stinkin flowers)
