From what I was reading wear like this usually causes speed fluctuations and coasting type issues.
No... it shouldn't be causing issues like that.
Maybe the friction nut is adjusted too tight on the hydro lever....?

The safety switch lever is also gone lol. I've been hot wiring the coil to start it. I assumed the safety switch itself was bad and almost ordered one. Mine is good tho.
Have you ever driven a left hand hydro tractor? They're a bit different. Not as much motion in the handle, so you have to move it differently. You sure you're not just moving it too fast? Nothing you are saying sounds out of line.... other than you popped a wheelie. Which I can honestly say I have never done on a CC. No, a lost fan and an overheated hydro would not cause the issue. If it had been overheated, it would be weak, not aggressive.

I don't know what to tell you. Check all the linkage out, see if everything is moving like it should. Make sure the cam plate and the swashplate control arm move independent of each other. You should see the springs compress when you move the dash lever and it starts to move. Might not be much, but the two plates should be free from each other.

As far as the safety switch, just put a jumper wire in it for now until you get it fixed. Quit jumping the solenoid. Tape the switch on or something....

Go start a thread on it too. This is just supposed to be a "show and tell" thread, not a question thread.
