Hi all! Thanks for any help.
Mower: '06 Dixie Chopper XWF 2700-60 bought new - with no problems over 14 yrs. & 976 hours.
Problem: suddenly lost the left drive, no warning. My hydraulics man opened and examined the pump and says it's ok. Could a wheel motor fail instantly? (he has not examined the motor, which is still on the mower.) My local form DC dealer says I should replace both pump and motor, but at a cost of 2500+ I want to make sure that is my only option.
Again, thanks for any help.
