deisler,


Your comment, "...refilled with Hytran (meets IH specs)...", has me wondering what you used.

20 some years ago, I replaced the fluid and filter in a 1512 with "meets IH specs" fluid from the local Fleet Farm store. It allowed the hydro to free wheel down the ditch.

I inquired about it with my local Cub guru and he knew what I did after I told him the symptoms. I changed out the fluid and filter with the real stuff and all was well.

I'm not saying every Hy-Tran equivalent is bad, or that your fluid is causing your problem.
