[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 4182, member: 82"] Thats pretty odd..... I was thinking possibly chains or sprockets but you said the wheels have about the same amount of play (which is normal). The shuddering, does it do it when going from revers to forward too? if so it could be a broken tooth or chain problem. If it still has plenty of power i would say its not hydrostatics but i could be wrong. On my 743, and i believe most other machines are the same i have 2 chains per side. One runs from the rear sprocket attached to the axle to a central double sprocket attached to the gearbox that attaches to the hydrostatic motor. The other chain runs from the central sprocket to the front sprocket attached to the axle. From that, there is no logical reason that the front spins differently to the rear unless there is a sprocket or chain problem. If there was slack or a missing tooth it will buck but it will do this all the time at the same spot, not just when taking off. You could see what they are offered for a trade and pay them that if you think its worth the price. With 3,200+ Hours up i would say you will be up for an engine rebuild, thats about a normal life span for a diesel engine. They get hard to start, but when warm they work well, so if you can live with the hard starting you can put the engine off a bit longer. Let us know how it all goes! [/QUOTE]
