I'm proud of you sir. Did it all on you own.Read my other post Slomo, the mower is fixed.
Satman,
I replaced the Hydro filter, refilled it with the Mobile 1 15w50 full synthetic motor oil I had left from my 5 quart container, and purge the system by way of the bypass valves. I cut my 2 acres of land here at home, and everything turned out great.
Can't wait to see what knowledge you are going to dump on us next.
