thank you for the welcome! well I only was able to cut the grass once, i did have a 10 year old troy bilt pony from HD that had seen its better days and sold it cheap to someone who needed the tranny to replace his, so the hydro took some getting used too but i do like it, I am looking to add a bagger so i can add to our compost bins.
hopefully it will be a while before I need any mechanical advice :)

ah yes, those hydros are much easier to operate, and they will last along time as long as you keep good care of it and keep that tranny fluid topped off.

Logert, how do you check the tranny fluid on these units?

Logert, You are ASSUMING all units are the same. That is a hydro which has no indicator for oil level. To drain it you must remove it and tip it over. Then you fill with a specific amount of fluid. Please don’t lead posters down a path of confusion.

Oh, dang it, there I go again, sorry for assuming, that is another thing I must stop doing.

And @whtlion, hopefully T didn't cause any confusion with my statement

oh um, when i put the capital T in my sentance, i actually meant to put an i, just saying.

but i guess i will be leaving this thread, hopw fully you like your new mower!
it will hopefully last a long time if you give it some TCL, keep it clean, garage kept ( if possible ), try to change the oil every season,
or whenever it gets to where you cant see through it or it gets to the low mark.

And I dont know if this is a myth or not, but i strongly believe in:
letting your engine warm up after you start it, i always let mine warm up for about 1-3 minutes before i raise the rpms.
