I, like a lot I've seen, am new to this site. I have a Ferris 1000 that's about 13 years old. Never missed a lick until this mowing season. Here lately, it has been seemingly getting hot and cutting off. Restart and it'll run for about 10 minutes, cut off and restart again. I thought I was having problems with low oil since I am getting a LOT on the engine deck. However, oil consumption doesn't seem to be any more than in the past. Now having problems with it not wanting to move. Oil maybe? Reservoir at/above the baffle. However, especially left drive motor is very weak. Now the right side also very week. Goes down hill pretty good (if it were all down hill...no problem). Will NOT pull itself uphill(just had to push it while trying to walk alongside, holding down the seat, and pressing the arms forward). What is the chance the hydro filter is clogged (434 hours on PTO, no telling on engine and drive motors)
Help!! Any ideas?
