B20 HST question

[fishman002]

I put my B20 away on the trailer last fall and it has set there until Friday when I was going to use it to move some snow and fallen tree limbs. In an earlier post I told everyone about the frozen front right wheel, which I as able to free up eventually by raising all 4 wheels off of the groaund and gently shfting the tractor from forward to reverse.

Now my new problem. The tractor is very slow. When it is in 3rd gear, it acts like it is in 1st. It has plenty of power to dig and push but it is just slow. I was thinking it is the pump? or dirty screen? or worn clutch? or water in the fluid? or who knows. Anyone have this sort of problem before?

make sure it went into 3rd gear on the B20 I had the linkage would jump out of the slot and not go into gear
