This is posted a little off topic so I値l include the reasons to bring it back on topic. The Question relates to hydro noise on my old tractor which was replaced with my GT2542. The GT is a fine heavy tractor work-horse however the grass cut is still not as good as my old tractor. I have tried...

While plowing snow I have noticed a significant loss of drive in the reverse mode. I know the speed is reduced to 1/2 but there seems to be a slipping effect built into the hydro, like an overload clutch. No problem in forward, only in reverse. Just wondered if that is how this hydro is designed...

First snow fall plow with GT2542. The plow was retrofitted from my old 43 inch yardking tractor. See picture attachments. It attaches to the rear hitch pin which I beefed up to take the strain of pushing the blade. The front member is simply a side to side support, no front to back support. The...

The attached files (GT 2542 Schematic and a Word file description) are an attempt to understand the electrical controls and safety switches of the GT 2542 (2006) tractor. Any comments or corrections or questions are appreciated. My only comment for any CC designer would be to separate the Delta...

Anybody know where ken is? His last post was 11-06. In burmuda maybe ?? charlie in vt

It was time to change the engine oil at the first 100 hours. First thing that happened was the little, fragile plastic tab broke off. What a place to provide a fragile part that is easily broken off......on the oil drain so Kohler can sell another engine. I replaced it with a 6 inch long pipe...

Got tired of having the seat tilted too far forward. Ground off 1 and 1/2 coils from the upper seat spring coils. Perfect now. Just passing the info along. charlie in vt

Finally got a good clean grass cut with my new GT2542. The problem stems from the blade. The standard blade is a “3 in 1”, ha….its really just a good mulching blade. Think of it this way, put some green growing stuff in a blender and turn it to high speed. What do you get but a container of wet...

I have completed the retrofit of my old snow plow to the GT2542. It’s a rear hitch pin mount with a front bracket to limit side to side movement. I fabricated a front plate for the old hanger to mount on, and stiffened up the rear hitch pin bracket with a welded bracket to a rear bumper...

This is for the guys that are familiar with the peerless variable speed hydro 205 series. I have it out and when turning the input shaft by hand, there is a regular clicking noise. Is this a normal hydro pump noise, or is this the source of my loud whine ? It was also slightly low on oil as...

Does anyone have info on parts for a peerless hydro 205-002b, since replaced by TEC-794619A ?? I am about to dismantel one to find out the source of the noise. I suspect the input shaft bearings. If anyone has a repair manual or any info as to where to get parts, etc., I would very much...

Verified that blade (302/42) is the correct part and finally figered out how it works but at $600 plus, I decided to adapt my old blade from the YardKing. Its a model 24476 blade (46 inch) that connects to the rear hitch with a long channel. It requires fabricating a front mounting plate, some...
