I was playin with the 300U the other day and noticed two things that I hadn't before.
1. The Independent PTO was very warm almost hot to the touch without the PTO engaged. When I did an hour or so of mowing it didn't cool down or warm up. At first I thought maybe the clutch was out of adjustment but even when the mower is disconnected the shaft doesn't turn by itself when the lever is disengaged (thinking the clutches were rubbing). Could this be something out of adjustment or something more serious????
2. The Hydraulic lines were also very warm almost hot to the touch. The hydraulics were not being used much at all. I don't think the check valve is stuck because the engine wasn't laboring and did bogg down slightly when I used the hydraulics. I thought maybe the filter could be clogged but it looks like a hassle to check if it would not be the problem.
Am I crying wolf here or are these problems? I don't have an indirect thermometer to give you guys the temp readings.
