Why will my zeroturn only run in reverse?

[Wayne65]

I just purchased a Husler Fastrak and can't figure out for the life of me why it won't run forward.. and only runs in reverse. I checked the linkage and it's fine. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Welcome to TBN. If it will run in reverse, it would seem the pump and wheel motors are working. I'd jack it up and see if the wheels turn with no load. If that is the case, then it would seem the linkage is out of adjustment.

While looking at the hyd pumps, move the fwd/rev levers and see if the shaft on the pump is rotating equally both ways.

If the control shaft will not move with the engine off, then raise the wheels off the ground and start the machine, and move the levers and see if the rotation is equal of moving from neutral

Sounds like a dealer house call is in order if this is a new unit.
