1440 Hydro problem

[coolmac]

I bought the 1440 2 years ago and changed all fluids/filters.
All was great until yesterday, no forward or reverse after 2 min into the cut. The Briggs engine running great and doesn't load down at all.

I checked driveshaft, linkages, fluid level and hydro relief valve wasn't disengaged. All good. I pushed to the garage, that sucked.
What was odd, I could push the tractor with the hydro relief valve engaged or disengaged ? The tractor just makes a light clicking noise.

Did the hydro die, relief valve sticking, any other checks?

Thanks

Hello coolmac, and welcome to TBN.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but perhaps if you moved your post to the Cub Cadet lawn and garden (L&G) you might get more responses...
Good luck!

Replaced the Fram 2844 hydro filter with a CC filter and all is good.
The Fram must of clogged.
