I bought my 425 over 10 years ago, used, from the local JD dealer. It has been a great mower over the years, has about 600 hours.
This spring, on start-up, the hydraulic steering was hard to turn. Stiff, and I could feel a little jerking in the wheel. After warming up, and a little use, back to normal.
I double checked the hydraulic fluid, and the level is OK. Last mowing, on cold start-up, the deck was slow in raising. Again, after a little warm-up, things went back to normal.
Could it be a plugged filter, bad pump? Any advise would be appreciated.
