The owner diagnoses zero hydrostatic pressure, splits the tractor, pulls the rear final drive, and traces the fault to a spun/worn pump plate, then replaces the bearing and plate and reassembles, checking torque specs along the way. Best for owners doing their own hydrostatic transmission diagnosis and rebuild, not a quick overview.
Posted by the Fran D. channel, an owner documenting a DIY repair on their own tractor rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
The hydrostatic pump plate was not staying seated and was spinning instead of locking in place, so the pump could not supply hydraulic pressure to the drive motor.
Hook up a hydraulic pressure gauge to the hydrostatic circuit, check forward and reverse pressure relief valves and O-rings, then inspect the pump plate inside the pump.
The pump plate slipped off its locating pin and spun against the pump, grinding the surface flat and leaving score marks and gouges.
The owner determined 22 foot-pounds was correct for the cover bolts, based on comparing manual terminology and the bolt size.
