7790 and sunstrand hydro

Recommended Posts

My 7790 Simplicity which I have owned for 1 year purrs like a kitten. Since graduating from many year of riding upon gear driven tractors(B1 and a B10) the Sundstrand hydro leaves me wondering if its in good working order. When I go up a hill fast the transmission kicks to a lower speed and pulls firmly at the much slower speed. Maybe this is normal operation and just takes some getting used to. I have recently changed the fluid and the filter. My question is what are the symtoms of a failing hydro?

Clean and lube the linkage from the lever to the tranny making sure the rollers are working free. There has been a couple posts on this subject. Do a search on Sundstrand, Linkage, Slipping etc.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
