I recently bought a used B7610 with about 300 hours. It's equipped with a loader and MMM. The hydrostat will occasionally "upshift", without moving the pedal, as though it was an automatic transmission selecting the next higher gear. The ground speed will increase slightly, maybe 5%. I also have an L5240 with hydro and have never experienced anything similar with it. Is this a "normal" behavior or should I be concerned about "impending doom" ?
An unrelated question. The PTO shaft cover has a hole for a bolt to retain it, but I don't have the bolt. My guess is it's a 6MM about 1/2" long. I've tried a standard 6mm.It will turn about 1 1/2 turns, then starts to hang up. Either there's a nick in the threads in the hole, or it's a different thread count. I'll bet any of the B7--- models have the same PTO shaft cover. Would anyone happen to know the bolt size before I run a 6mm tap into the hole and bung up the threads?
