Hydro Noise
 

Well all thru the mowing season all worked well except for the unseen crap that pops up, now that I am getting it ready for winter duty attaching the snow blade, wheel weights etc. I noticed that the hydro is making more noise than normal especially in reverse. Could this be due to low fluid? I haven't had the chance to check it yet as I just got done last nite with the weights and such and noticed this noise when backing it into the shed. :bash2:

Check for fluid yes, but IMO it's probably whining a bit more noticeably because of the added weight you put on it. Hydros will do that.

OR it's just complaining in general because it doesn't like that it's going to be cold out and you can't mow with it anymore.

:biggrin2:

This is my first hydro soo that makes sense...it actually isn't the mower whining that part was me cause I hate winter:biggrin2:

Thanks I remember that thread now that I saw it again...good info!:beerchug:

Another thing I forgot to mention is that during mowing good luck trying to hear the hydro rear end...what with the mower going and the engine at high revs...

My SIL lives 1/4 mile away, I can hear the hydro whine over the engine/mower when he goes up a grade (it is an 1861)
