    GT2550 Transmission Hydro Release Lever???

    My Gt2550 runs powerfully, cuts great, but after a half hour or hour, it will not go. Engine runs fine. The transmission will SCREEECCCHHH and then stop. If I push pull push pull the little hydro release lever on the rear, sometimes it will go just fine, sometimes I have to let it cool down...

    Drain Plug Engineers

    Looks like somebody must have finally put a big dope-slap up alongside the head of the Drain Plug Engineers.

    GT-2550 PTO Switch - All Fixed?

    Could not get switch removed yesterday, a new one was $25, so I tried PB-Blaster. Sprayed it on terminals, inside the switch, under the push-pull knob, all around, inside and out.

    PTO won't engage, and I want to replace the yellow PTO switch. I can un-plug the back of it, but how in the world do you remove the yellow-handle part? Seems it is held into the dash-board with numerous push-in clips. Thanks guys.

    GT-2550 Won't Start, Carb Flooded?

    The carb seems to be flooded, with gas running out the muffler. Engine will not start. I can smell gas in the engine oil. Can I take the carb apart enough to clean it up, free up the float and needle, etc., without doing anything bad? How do I do that? I'm pretty handy around the farm...
