I have a Zero Turn Husqvarna model ZTH4218A.
The right hand control works perfect.
The left hand control works perfect forward, but has no reverse wheel action.
Upon placing the left hand control lever in the reverse position, nothing happens. It feels like something is stuck somewhere and not operating as it should be. The control handle goes almost as far to the rear as it should but just not quite as far as it should. I traced out the linkage and went over the physical/mechanical
action of this control and compared it to the right hand control. I find nothing out the ordinary. Nothing binding, stuck, bent, broke, etc.
I don't know much about the hydraulic pumps. It seems to me that the control lever controls the pump and the pump then controls the hydraulic motor at each wheel.
Could it possibly be a problem with the internal parts of the hydraulic pump for the left control lever? I don't know how this actually (physically) works. Maybe something in the pump is broke or damaged and not allowing proper movement of parts inside?
Looking for help! Anyone else experienced this problem or something similar?
Thanks in advance.
