SOURCE: My Husqvarna Hydrostatic transmission is not

A common problem on mowers with hydrostatic transmissions is the pulley on top of the transmission. Most have splines which wear out. Also make sure fan on top of transmission is turning. Could be overheating.

Similar thing happened to me and it seemed to be nothing more than a completely clogged air filter. When replaced it was fine.

SOURCE: Hydrostatic drive is weak

Try pulling back on the left foot pedal. This manually adjusts the drive belt tension and is a sign that the engine pulley has worn to the point the belt looses traction. A local repairman told me this last week and mine works fine now although in the very near future I'll need to replace the pully. Good luck

there are one to two wires that come from under the fly wheel. thy are attached to our stator (charging sys) the flywheel has a magnet on it. know the wires my or my not go to a voltage regulator than a fuss and to ether the solenoid battery side, or to the battery. the easy way to check is on your battery with a meter. check battery fri st than start your engine to see if the amps come up should be around 12.9 to 14.6 volt. make sure your at full throttle. good luck, let me know.

Can i drive in other gears on the highway besides being in drive...I have a 99 Lincoln continental? ?

you should use the highest gear possible to allow over drive to kick in, other gears will slow and limit the speed you can drive ,and stress the tranny

Hydrostatic mower won't go up hill

How old is your machine? I have a John Deere X300R which after just over 200 hrs got slow going upslope and then when hot would actually run back while on full revs and pedal right down hard. Contacted JD who said to get it "Lapped". Cost was $1,400 and likely to result in same again after another 150 to 200 hrs. This was a K46 drive unit. In the end I bought a K66 transmission and butchered the chassis to fit it. It is OK but I would not do it again as it cost about $3,000 all up and is not ideal. I am a retired manufacturing engineer so had the skills and gear. I suggest that your machine may be like mine was. I filled my new drive unit with synthetic oil, 15/40 grade and although expensive, I believe it is worth the expense. There is no quick or cheap way of overcoming the result of a defective drive unit that I know of.

Why does my oil pressure gauge on dash show low oil pressure when slowing . or during long drives when using low revs

The reason would be physics based. Low pressure can go down to under 10 psi. and be okay. What you do is hook up an external gauge and measure your pressure, both cold and warmed up. Your pressure may be okay.

Hi, it sounds like the hydrostatic drive is getting too hot. Remove the battery and battery cradle and clean all grass and debris from around the hydrostatic drive and cooling fins. Also check the fan wheel on the hydro is not damaged. Regards Phil.

My craftsman 19.5 b&s engine has developed a Rabit jumping problem. becoming more difficult to control the speed with the clutch/brake. I also notice that the internal control when going downhill is...

I don't know if you have a hydrostatic or gear drive trans, but you should be able to go slower either by shifting to a lower gear or by moving the hydro drive lever to a slower speed. Always run the engine at full speed. Slowing the mower down by slowing the engine is extremely hard on the motor. It need the higher rpm's to keep it cool and not have to work as hard. There is a brake adjustment on the left rear axle. There is a brake disc with lever and a nut holding it on. Turn the nut clockwise about a half turn at a time to adjust the brake and check it. You don't want to get it too tight or it won't roll.
