Thanks for responding to my post. Because of the rarity of parts new or used, I am thinking I might sell the mower in running condition before it develops problems and becomes scrap. That would be a hard pill to swallow since I have had it for years and like how it works where I do contract...

That link did not work

I do realize this is a relic >>> however stranger things have happened when it comes to NOS parts that have hibernated on someone's shelf for 30 years covered in dust. I saw that when I renovated a 1957 Hemi Imperial that needed a rear brake hose to the diff. Napa had it on the shelf covered in...

I need parts for this Eaton 851 hydrostatic transmission. I know Eaton has not supplied parts for a few years. Looking for NOS if available anywhere. THANKS HEAPS !

Please review this link https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/conversations/re-eaton-851-ferris-pro-cut-61.114509/#convMessage-232310 and share your ideas about what I might do. This was a private message to bertsmobile. My hope is that the link will take you to the conversation about the Ferris...

Ferris Guys, 7 years have gone by since I was posting here. In the meantime I found a new center section Hydro-trans and was able to shelf this old one. Now that new one has developed problems where it will hardly go up a slight incline - making a growling noise in the process and doing it slow...

Hi Kohler mechanics; The Craftsman mower has sat in the barn for a few weeks. Went to start it today and found there was no spark. Since this has not happened before I suspect it was brought on by the cold snap we had here last night >> mid 20's. The coil is suspect since it can also be...

Hydro-static Transmission & Mower Pics

I was not able to find a former post on this problem so I am posting a new thread. IF, this has been covered already please link me to the post. Engine (18.5HP) will not start when hot after running it for 30 minutes or more. It is not a fuel delivery problem as it will not fire using choke, or...

I zoomed in on picture and put arrows where it looks like there are tiny gouges. If it's not perfectly smooth, oil pressure will leak and you'll have a loss of power. These machines whine, at least both of mine do. If it's just the noise you're worried about, don't. Here's the picture: Thank...

I am not sure exactly where you are seeing the tiny gouges. Can you save one of my photos and draw an arrow to the area you see where there is a problem. I have since put the unit back together and into the mower - I used it last week on an acre property. The noise is still the same going...

I would call these guys and see if they can rebuild it or have parts for it. https://hydrostaticpumprepair.com/html/eaton_parts_eaton_hydrostatic_.html (800) 361-0068 I did contact them yesterday and they said no. I wrote again and they told me obsolete parts. 👎

My Ferris Pro Cut 61 with Eaton series 851 hydrostatic >>> works but makes noise in forward, not reverse. It also struggles going up gradual grades. My next move was to get internal pump parts in hopes of repairing a loss of pressure. After contacting Eaton I find that they quit supplying...

Greetings Ferris Fans, I bought this mower used from a non-profit organization I used to work for. My first repair I did to it was to weld up the crack in the oil tank that had a slow leak. This leaves me to believe the transmission had been run low on oil in its previous life. For all the time...
