It may be just my imagination but it seems that my F2400 is slower in reverse than it was before. Forward speed is fine. The reverse pedal goes to the floor as does the forward pedal so I don't think the arm slipped on the shaft. Any suggestions for things to look for?
Update: I talked to the dealer and he suggeted it could be a worn cross arm bushing - apparently quite a common problem on these machines. The other thing he suggested was a restricted filter. I checked the cross arm and all seemed to be OK, no significant play in the bushings. I checked the fluid level in the tranny and it was low. It has been a while since I changed the filters so I decided to change both the hydraulic and HST filters. Did that, filled it up with oil and no change in performance. I looked in my manual and the max speed in reverse is about half that of forward so that may be the answer. It just seems slower than before.
