I purchased a used ZD28 last winter and just started using it this spring. I had the dealer go over and they said everything was good to go. Well, when moving the other day I noticed the levers were moving but I was not getting the response desired. I stopped on the driveway and noticed hydraulic oil leaking on the right side transaxle. I put it away to let it cool off. I glanced at it briefly today, but I need to remove the mower deck to be able to see better. Hopefully this weekend if time is available.
A brief history, it had 780 hours (so the meter says and it is working) and I am mowing about 5 acres at a time. Some of the terrain is steep and I generally mow the majority of it up and down, versus side hilling. It had worked good the first few times, but now this.
My question is, where and what should I be looking for? I am reasonable mechanically inclined, but thought a few suggestions from those with more knowledge might shorten my work.
Thanks in advance!!!
