A while back I posted working on two friends craftsman mowers. I got both of them running only to have the HST fail.
After soaking the brakes with wd40 one craftsman is now works. This mower was left out in the rain, and it had many rain related issues. Latest issue, the spindle on mower deck has to be replaced, it's rusted solid.
After researching problems others have with craftsmans. They suggested removing the transaxle, dumping out the hydraulic fluid and refilling. Then spin the input shaft with a drill to purge the air out of it.
I skipped removing the transaxle, instead I lifted one rear wheel. Had owner sit on tractor and while running I rotated the one rear wheel while he put it in gear. Very slowly it started moving on it's own. Then I had him shift it in reverse, I rotated rear wheel wheel again. Went from forward to reverse and back again a few times. Now all works as it should.
I'm guessing, the owner may have moved the mower with the transaxle rod in instead of out and it may have caused HST to air lock.
Has anyone had the same issue with HST transaxle? geo.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
