STX Hydro Issues

[rosey65]

I have a question for a different STX 38. It is a Hydro with a black deck. It had sat out all last summer and most of the fall. I have gotten it running well. The only problem is when I push or pull the hydro. It is going forward pretty well, but pulling it into reverse is extremely hard. Is there something I can do to remedy this? Anywhere to grease? Any input is again appreciated! (I have three of these and am trying to get them all fixed)

sounds like the linkage is binding when you pull it back.

Any solution to that??

youre going to have to climb under there and move the lever back and fourth to see where it is catching. most likely, its a little corrosion somehwere and its sticking. Be a good idea to have someone sit on the tractor and move it for you while you look.
