110 TLB sometimes will not move

bpskme · Feb 28, 2013

All summer long my 2002 -110 TLB does anything I need. When moving snow on cold winter days it will stop moving. This is followed by a slow single alarm beep. Sometimes it will begin moving again or other times I will park it with the creeped controls. Any advice would be appreciated !

Works great in hot weather, does not work in cold weather. Sounds like the wrong hydraulic fluid is in the transmission or a filter or screen is partially clogged and not letting the fluid flow when cold. Are you using JD20D HYGUARD? Or something else?

Try starting it , jack it up on the outriggers in second gear and let it warm up a few minutes . That alarm is cold torque converter/hydraulic fluid .

When was the last time you changed hydraulic fluid and filters?

My manual calls for changing transmission oil and filters every 400 hours.

Thank you all for the good advice! I tried the idea of warming fluid up by lifting rear wheels with outriggers and running in B range today. After a 10 minute warming run the tractor worked perfectly. Moved a bunch of snow banks and never missed a beat. I will be changing the fluid, cleaning screens and replacing any filters as soon as things get warmer in Maine. I have put only about 150 hours on tractor but am very sure the first owner didn't give it much love. Thank you all again for steering me in the right direction!
