Symptom
Root problem
Mechanical cause
Recommended action
Complete loss of
drive
Loss of control input
Inoperative pedal linkage or
control arm not moving trun-
nion shaft
Visually inspect linkage and
force-check the control arm/
trunnion connection.
Loss of power to
hydro pump
Drive shaft and couplings to
engine and Transmission
Inspect and force -check drive
shaft and coupling. May require
drive shaft removal.
Sheared input shaft at hydro
pump
Remove drive shaft and force-
check input shaft (push/pull/
turn). May need to remove
charge pump cover to confirm
shaft rotation.
Loss of hydraulic
pressure
Bypass valve open
Check position of bypass con-
trol rod. Check for proper move-
ment of the linkage and valve
plunger.
Low/no hydraulic fluid
Check the transmission's dip-
stick
Restricted flow to charge
pump
Check external parts: pick-up
tube, fluid filter (Cub Cadet P/N
723-3014). NOTE: fluid & filter
replacement is a reasonable
first step
Failed charge relief valve
Remove and inspect charge
relief valve.
Failed charge pump
Remove charge pump cover for
physical inspection
2 completely inoperative
charge check valves (very
unlikely scenario)
Remove and inspect charge
valves.
Mechanical drive fail-
ure
Pinion gear/bevel gear failure
The brake rotor is on the same
shaft that carries the bevel
gear. If the brake rotor turns in
response to drive inputs, but the
wheels do not, the problem is
down-stream of the bevel gear
Ring gear, differential, or axle
failure
See cell above
Wheel hub not driven by axle
Inspect and force-check wheel
hub
Loss of drive in For-
ward only
Loss of hydraulic
pressure in forward
circuit
Completely inoperative
charge relief valve
Remove and inspect charge
check valves.
