There was quite a bit of water in the wheel motors as the mower had been run some before I got it. When I removed the hoses from the wheel motors the oil was a very light brown. Also the oil coming out was the same color light brown. It's all good now!

Well......It looks like it worked! I removed the oil tank, cleaned it out, installed a new filter, opened the hoses on the wheel motors, let the system drain, ran it for a very short time, re-connected the hoses and ran the tank return hose into a catch can. I wanted to be sure that any...

"If it turns a milky color than you have your work cut out for you. otherwise no big issue." Well it is milky! Wondering if slightly cracking the hoses on the wheel motors would help "flush" out the system? Of course making sure that there is new fluid in the tank to go into the system...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I will be changing the filter and the oil in the tank a few times to make sure it is not contaminated with water.

Thanks for the advice, but I was hopeful that someone would know what diode I could "try" before I purchased the OEM diode. I really do not want to fry a $32 diode before I can check out the wiring on this mower. Anyone know of a cheaper diode that I can use for a "test" part? Anyone have any...

I put a new battery in, and PTO clutch on my Snapper LT16002 and had wires getting hot after it ran for about 5 minutes. Decided to replace the key switch, PTO switch, headlight switch and solenoid since all were at least 20 years old. When I got into doing the replacement I noticed that the...
