I have a Tempress orthopedic high back boat seat $200 on my Dixie chopper. Love it!

So there are no seals on the pistons or anywhere else inside the pump?

Installed new belts, new tension adjustment springs, and readjusted belts, lever linkage again. Still slow on the left side. I really don't feel that anything is slipping. Mowed heavily for 2 1/2 hours. It did get even a little weaker as I was finishing. Still smooth with no jerking. I am...

No whining sound from the pump. No leaks at all. No heat gain. It does sometimes make a little clicking sound when I change direction. I am pretty sure that is from the wheel motor. Removed the belt adjustment assembly to check everything. The arm was slightly tweaked so I straightened it...

Is there a good solution to this problem?

See if i am thinking right. Looks like the tension adjustment pulley is in between the engine and the left pump. Maybe crank more tension in or if there is enough adjustment available, use a slightly longer belt for more belt wrap on the left pump?

Hard for me to believe but it does make sense. I will have to look at it hard and see what I can do with it. Thanks for the info guys.

It operates smooth, just doesn't have the same power/speed the right side has. I have adjusted everything but I do have a new belt. i will try that next.

Is there a tag or number on the wheel motor so I can see if I can get a seal kit ? I have a seal kit for the pump.

All that seems to make sense but there is a significant difference between right and left. BTW, reverse seems very close to the same on both sides.

I have a 2016 DC Silver Eagle and the left side is weak compared to the right side. I have adjusted everything as best I can but can't tell if it is the Wheel Motor or the Pump. Has anyone ever tried swapping the wheel motors for testing?

I will get a picture. Not sure my Tempress Probax highback seat is any better but it is just as good as the Michigan suspension seat on my 99 model that cost 3 times as much and doesn't sit as tall. As far as the steering, the newer Silver Eagle has a totally different feel than my 99. Seems...

I did end up buying a boat seat. Very comfortable. After all is said and done I have right at $1200 invested in my mower. Not 100% happy with the steering. Seems like I am always correcting.

I run Carlisle AT101 tires on both of my Dixie Choppers. Pretty aggressive but not too bad on the lawn.

Stripped off the burnt wiring harness, controls, melted tires, burnt up seat, melted battery, melted fuel tanks, and all of the melted plastic. Really doesn't look so bad now. The engine oil looks fine and the hydraulic oil and lines look fine too. This thing shows some promise. I jury rigged...
