I just had the same surging issue with my 110 tlb. It felt like an engine with a bad fuel filter. I narrowed it down to a transmission issue when at WOT under a load of the snow blower the engine didnt skip a beat. When moving the tractor it would buck like it was the sump in the trans was sucking air. Thanks to this forum it was an 5 min fix. The Flywheel speed sensor was faulty.

^^^ Glad to help spread the word.

When mine first went out the Dealer said I could be looking at a transmission!!!

Congrats on a job well done.

I just found this thread.

I just had the same issue, but it went away when the tractor got hauled to the dealer. I wonder if it hit a big enough bump to reconnect a bad connection. If it happens again, I'm gonna try this! Shoot for $67 bucks, it was be cheaper than other troubleshooting I've tried!

Thank you! This website is SO valuable because of these kinds of things

Any idea where the sensor would be for 4720? my dad is having the same issue, but he cannot locate the sensor. JD just sent him the schematic, but that is not helping him. thanks

Not sure... the sensors I've seen have a single wire to the location on the flywheel bell housing right about where your right foot can reach it it your tried.

Amazing what this one part failure can do... as mentioned my dealer said a transmission overhaul might be required.

My dad has a 110 TLB and my brother has a 4520 that are roughly the same vintage (10 years old) and they both are having hydro issues similar to what has been explained here. We will take a look and hope this sensor is the culprit as I believe they both only have around 500 hours on them, have been well cared for and shouldn't have any excessive wear on the main hard parts (trans, etc).

The good news is the part is not expensive and easy to change out...
