Hello all.
I was recently gifted a 165 Hydro and have begun replacing components that were either in rough shape or no longer working. I've been reading posts on this site during that process and have found the tips and suggestions very valuable. This is my first post for help as I'm not sure where to start with my current issue. When I fire up the mower and drive it around there is alot of noise that comes from somewhere on the rear of the mower. I'm not sure if the hydro would make loud noises or whether it would be the differential. When I received the mower and started replacing all the filter, fluids, and belts I found that the fluid level in the differential was extremely low so I'm afraid that maybe the previous owner caused some damage.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to isolate what may be causing the noise or maybe some ways to eliminate some possibilities.
Thanks.
