I have a question for you experts. This May I purchased a new Toro MX5060 with the ZT-2800. Being anal, I decided to change the oil / filters on the Hydro Drives. Everything went smoothly (except for one really stubborn oil filter), until I went to purge the units. Even with the hydros bypassed, the mower wants to move back and forth (primarily the left hand drive). I noticed that with the engine off and the hydros bypassed, it is harder to push than it was before, similar to an emergency brake hanging up / dragging in an automobile. Per the instructions, I slowly moved the levers back and forth with the engine running, several times in both the bypassed and non bypassed modes. It doesn't seem be a problem as I drove it up and down the driveway. I was careful not to come in contact with any linkages when I did the oil / filter change. Other than checking the linkages, do you have any suggestions? I almost wish I never touched it. I guess no good deed should go unpunished...:laughing:!
Thanks,
Bruce
