As some of you might have seen, I've got a 1450. The nice weather has finally got me some time to work on. Long story short, I've got the engine running in just about tip-top shape. My question comes from they hydro.
I've changed the fluid and filter as well as adding a washer here and there between snap rings and cam control assembly's and damper plates to fill any lateral play they may have. I've also tidied up the trunion by fixing the groves typically worn in it as well as new springs and ends. Things are 1000% better on this machine between when I got it but now but I still have a little more play than I'd like. It really only comes into effect when the tiller is in the ground. When the tractor encounters any real resistance (whether tiller in ground or on a steep hill) it'll act as if there is hesitation. The tractor will slow or stop until I give it more speed with the hydro then it'll move again.
Is there anything I can check with this? I've got some time this weekend to work with it so any suggestions are appreciated. Is it possible part #1, #6, or #6 could need replaced (I've never seen one so bad it did but I'm grasping at straws now)? Maybe some adjustment I've overlooked? Thanks guys!
