[cub-ed]

I have a 2082 that seems to have issues bogging down when I turn the steering wheel or put the unit under stress i.e. when going up a steep incline mowing; I'm sure there is a valve sticking within the hydraulics but not quite sure where to start. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

On a separate note I purchased this unit with a hood that was broken at the mounts. Previous owner had tried to bondo and fiberglass but it didn't work. Does anyone have another solution, if not it looks like I will be trying the same fix.
