get it off the groud rear wheels put a weight on forward drive if it works fine if not with the weight still on start turning wheels by hand if it work let run like this 30 minutes if not did you use the right fluid not transmission fluid if you did buy new hydrostatic pump buy one any way pumpsounds like bured up 200 dollars for pump before you do this isworth it if mower over 4 years buy new mower you will save a lot of money in long run
I think for your mower it is 48 oz. You should have a tag under the hood to the right that lists all the common replacement stuff and part numbers for them and quantities. There at the bottom of the list I think is the weight of the oil (30W) and the quantity (48 oz I think). It has been a while since I worked on one like yours though, but I think that is how they do the Husq.
30 weigh oiltdetergent (if available,if not regular 30 weight oil will perform also), as for the gearbox.transaxle for the tines use 80-90 weight gear lube
Hello, My name is Dane and I'm going to help you with your problem. First, I believe those craftsman units are sealed and there's no way to actually check the hydrostatic oil level. So the first thing to do is make sure that you don'thave any leaks around the transmission assembly. If it looks clean and oil free, I would venture to say that it is more of a 90% chance that your drive belt is the problem, however it isn't from icing up, but rather from the heat of the extra work from the weight of the snowblower, causing it to slip. The belt isn't all that expensive and before I would get excited and start worrying about transmission failure, I would just replace the belt first, and rule it out. Make sure all your pulleys and tensioners don't have any loose hardware, and look alligned. I think you'll fix the problem though just by the belt replacement. I hope I've helped. Thank you! Dane
Your Onan engine will do excellent with Mobil One 0w40, Mobile One 5w30.
DO NOT use hydraulic oil in the transmission/transaxle, you will destroy it. Your tractor uses an Eaton 11 Hydrostatic transmission pump with the oil resevour being the cast iron transaxle. The WheelHorse transaxle is as rugged as they come. It uses a solid cast iron housing, case hardened intermediate gears and forged differential gears with an eight pinion differential.
Your transaxle requires 10w40 synthetic or conventional oil as well as a wix 51410 filter or the OEM wheelHorse filter. It should be changed every 100 hours with conventional oil or 250 hours with synthetic. DO NOT use hydraulic oil!
