bsadler 1 Posted June 22, 2016 My tractor takes about 5 seconds to run after being off for a day or two. After the hydro engages it's fine until next day. Seems like it leaks off faster than normal. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simplicity7013H 95 Posted June 23, 2016 Hello, My 7117 does this as well. It really isn't a big issue as long as your transmission is still driving and operating strong. The cause of the problem is the check valve(item #42)which is leaking pressure when not in use.When you restart your machine, like you stated, it takes a few seconds to go because the pressure has to be built back up again. They are available for the steep price of $174.02 on Partstree.com. I have heard that there is someone who rebuilds them but I'm not 100% certain about that.

goatfarmer 817 Posted June 25, 2016 Does one control forward, and the other control reverse? Easy enough to switch them and see if there is a change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bsadler 1 Posted June 25, 2016 Swash plate makes sense. Problem is forward or reverse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
