I have an Exmark Quest that's about 10 years old, 4500 series. Everything worked good last year. Went to mow this year and the right side wheel operates fine in forward and reverse. Left wheel doesn't respond at all. Also noticed an oil leak from the reservoir area. Wondering if a leak would case it to stop working entirely. And my bypass levers are both in the correct position. And yes, the parking brake is released. First thing that I checked. And I can manually move the left tire both in both forward and reverse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Repairs Right wheel goes in forward and reverse, left wheel nothing

This is the partial list I have to look through. Can we get more info on your mower?

You have an all in one unit. Sounds like the pump went out in the drive but lets test first. First fix the leak because it may have allowed air into the system. Fill oil to max and try the air bleeding procedure. Do this with the back tires off the ground and engine running. Please use jack stands. Open bypass valve then push lever forward for count of 10 the backwards for count of 10 3 times. Close bypass valve and repeat.
When did you last change your hydro oil and filter?

On closer inspection, none of the hoses are leaking. May be leaking from the transaxle itself. Not sure yet. But there is definitely a leak. What about the belt? I have read a few threads where the belt was slipping on one transaxle.

If you have one belt for both units like you do it would be unusual for that to happen. If the hydro unit is leaking that would explain it. They work off of pressure. Leak means low or no pressure where needed.
Thanks for you help. Is it very hard to rebuild those hydro's? I heard someone say that you had to do it in a dust free environment. I can get a rebuild kit for $100 each, whereas the cheapest hydro's that I found were a little over $1000 each.
