Ah!! Herd is taking too long.Hi everyone
I just joined and am looking for help. I hope someday I can help others.
I just picked up a 185 hydro. I couldn't pass up the deal. Engine is good with great compression and runs great. I have a few detail questions:
When I push the hydro lever into forward it goes great. But the lever doesn't stay forward. It slowly works its way back. How do I fix this?
The deck lift lever rubs against the hood. Can this be adjusted?
There's a small silver knob just under the front of the seat. It looks like some sort of fine adjustment. What is this for?
The deck attaches to the front of the frame with a long shaft that's held in place with cotter pins. Is this supposed to be bent or straight?
Are there really only three wheels on the deck?
Any good boneyards for these tractors?
Thanks for any help! I REALLY appreciate it!
Not sure anyone got to this question. You need to look underneath the tractor and figure out how the transaxle input arm centering mechanism works. Sounds complicated but its not. The hydro lever you use to control the speed connects to another lever on the bottom of the transaxle that controls fluid flow and hence speed/direction. The transaxle input arm has bars around it that connect to the brake pedal so that when you step on the brake pedal the same linkage centers the hydro input lever to stop the tractor while also applying the brake. If this linkage is out of adjustment (or you are riding the brake pedal with your foot) it may create the condition you describe. So step 1 is basically just stick your head under the back (you may have to jack it up) with the ENGINE OFF and move the hydro levers and brake pedal to get an idea of how the linkages work.When I push the hydro lever into forward it goes great.
