I have an Exmark Quest that is about 15 years old, but well taken care of. As of last year, the mower develops a whine from the left drive wheel after 20 minutes or so of mowing. Once the whine starts I have about 4-5 minutes before the left wheel will not drive the mower forward at all. I have to shut the mower off for 5-10 minutes before I can drive forward, but it quickly gets to an undrivable state again within a few minutes so I can really only get it back to the shed and let it “rest”.
I’ve had the dealership look at it, but they couldn’t see anything wrong. Said the fluid was fine and that the couldn’t recreate the problem which means they didn’t drive it for 20 minutes, but I get it, they’re busy.
I hate to give up on it so I’m looking for help. This model doesn't have a reservoir tank for transmission fluid and I don’t see where to add any fluid, but first and foremost, what could be causing the left wheel to lose power after 20 minutes and develop a loud whine?
