Hi,
I am a recent T1760 owner. My unit (s/h) has 1560 hrs on it, and has developed a problem with the HST. When going forwards, there is a louder than normal whining, and the torque developed is very low, to the point that even a mild slope is too much for it. In reverse, the whining is more normal, and there is plenty of torque. I changed the oil in the HST, but it made no difference. I did notice that I only got about a litre out of the HST, even though the reservoir was above the "Full Cold" mark (the owners manual states 2.4 litres).
Any ideas why it works fine in reverse, but not going forwards? And what about the oil - is the owner's manual wrong?
