    Hydrostatic transmission question

    Thank you! I know I can regulate the speed in driving with that pedal. I just did not know if it was basically slipping a clutch to do so and wearing something out. I'm pretty mechanical in my thinking. I've just never seen this setup and do not understand how it works yet.

    Any reason not to use a warmer thermostat?

    My new to me b7510 does not warm up. Either the stock 160 thermostat is stuck open or someone took it out. Any problem with putting a 180 in there? It well documented that engines get less wear,make less sludge etc when they run at a higher temperature.
