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...

Well, I started it and it runs great. Wheel motors move with the handles but can't really tell much without tires on it

I have procured a 2016 Dixie Chopper with 27hp Kawasaki than was close to a house fire. The main damage is to the wiring harness, fuel tanks, and tires. Now trying to see if it is worth fixing since it was a good running unit. My first order of business was to remove all of the wiring and melted...

Anyone happen to know what size battery this takes?

Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

Would that be a 2016 model? Engine FX850VB007XX Kawasaki 27hp?

OK, after scrubbing and cleaning the right frame rail. I found it. 16109XXX

I just got a Silver Eagle that was too close to a fire. How can I tell what year it is? I haven't found a tag yet (Probably burned off). Is there a serial number stamped somewhere? Not sure where to look. I did find most of the engine numbers.

A friend of mine has a Silver Eagle with Kaw 27hp and 72" deck that was near a house fire. He told me I can have it if I come and get it and see if I can use it for parts but he thinks it may be fixable. For sure the plastic parts are all melted, seat burned up, and who knows what else. I have...

I replaced the engine on my old Dixie Chopper with a new B & S Commercial Turf 25hp engine. For my residential use only mowing 4-5 acres. Do these engines hold up well? Any special care to help longevity?

Are springer front forks a worthwhile addition to an old mower? I have a 1999 X2002-50 and a rough yard and need some relief. I have replaced the seat with one that has a good suspension and that helped a lot, but was wondering if the forks would help more if they will fit my mower.

I am always tinkering with stuff so I thought I would hang around here. This looks like a place for good info. I bought a Dixie Chopper X2002-50 back in 2008 with a blown-up engine. Replaced with a new Kohler 25hp and It threw a rod in 2015. Replaced it with the 20hp Briggs off of my 1995 Noma I...
