I'm back after taking a break. I sold my Scag sometime back but I did replace with a brand new x590 with a 48 inch deck and hdap tires. It is nice to be back on a garden tractor again. Anyways at around 8 hrs or so, it developed a interment issue. It now has 13 hrs and still acting very odd. I've never ran into this before and really haven't found anything similar on the forum when I looked.
Ok so this usually takes about 30 min's or so before anything happens....if it does it at all that day. So I mow stripes back and forth and the thing is while backing up to set up for the next row when I lift off the reverse pedal, it still feels like I'm slightly on the pedal/or freewheeling kinda but not really. And this just happens suddenly. I can either wait for the tractor to completely come to a stop or not doesn't matter for the next part.
This next part is 90% going to happen when I feel what i feel with the reverse deal btw. Ok so I go to hit the forward pedal but it has resistance of some sort and maybe half the speed. The harder I push the pedal the more it fights back. Kinda like if I had the parking brake set type of feel but can still push the pedal. I can go to the next row, hit reverse and everything may act normal again or not....I never know. This could happen once a month or a handful of times within a hour then nothing more the rest of the day. Absolutely no consistency or reason to what's going on.
I've felt the transmission and it only gets warm, never hot enough to where I can't touch it so it's not overheating. Fluid is clear and clean and at the right level. I did try removing the shock absorber to see if that was the cause but it's just too jerky for me to tell with it unhooked. I've pulled the deck twice now to check the linkage and all looks normal. Ambient air temp doesn't appear to be a factor nor does whether I have the throttle set at Max or around 3/4 throttle.
So the main reason I haven't called my dealer is because they are located in the city and have a very small area to run equipment. That coupled with how erratic this issue is still, I have serious doubts that it will acting up while they have it. So I guess I'm asking for any thoughts on what else to check and or how to go about getting this resolved with the dealer that about a hour away. That and has anyone by chance seen or heard about what I'm trying to decribe?
