PARTS SEARCH >> EATON 851 Hydro-drive

[Rob47]

My Ferris Pro Cut 61 with Eaton series 851 hydrostatic >>> works but makes noise in forward, not reverse. It also struggles going up gradual grades.
My next move was to get internal pump parts in hopes of repairing a loss of pressure. After contacting Eaton I find that they quit supplying parts back in 2011. They gave their dealers a chance to buy out their inventory, that deal did not happen.

I am now asking the world wide web if someone did choose to buy up parts for that relic hydro unit. And if they are wanting to sell some of them.
Do let me know. I may be interested if pricing is sensible.
Thanks. Please send a private message to my e-mail as I visit it more often than the forum.

I also have 3 ferris pro 20s, this may sound ridiculous and you might have already checked this out but l had the same problem with one of mine, did you clean out the strainer in the Hyd tank? That strainer does get clogged with crap and the only way you know it is there is to see it in the parts manual. That will also cause your machine to bog down and no power and wine. But the Eaton transmissions do wear out and parts do not exist. Eaton did sell that type of transmission to other mowers, l think wheel horse and gravely, l think you might want to get a used one from someone or a mower grave yard. Mine need new gaskets witch l need to make myself, the pro 20s are great mowers and l have trusted them for years.

Thanks for responding to my post. Because of the rarity of parts new or used, I am thinking I might sell the mower in running condition before it develops problems and becomes scrap. That would be a hard pill to swallow since I have had it for years and like how it works where I do contract mowing once a week during the season.
