BX2660
Fun 1st post. I have a 2 1/2 year old BX2660 with a 60 inch belly mower that I bought new and it has been fantastic. I was mowing a steep hill in my front yard going forward up - I used to back up it, but this was a new experiment. There's a hedge row at the top that requires backing or driving down. Right at the top, the engine starved for fuel (stupid) and it stalled. Before I could get my wits, it took off backward and coasted to the bottom of the hill. THAT was not fun. :eek: Now level, it restarted, but when I push on forward, you can hear the hydraulic pump straining and it tries to move backward. Same for reverse; tries to move forward but you can tell it's fighting itself. It was in 4 wheel drive at the time but I don't remember if I was going forward or backward. It does move in neutral and the deck does go up and down. Once the monsoons move out, I'll take it to the dealer, but I would greatly appreciate some suggestions. I will rethink how I deal with this hill.

Thank you
Gary

Now that's something new!!!

I would try jacking up the rear to remove all pressure on the wheels and, in 2wd, cycle the pedal to see if you can get the pump working properly again.

Thank you, I am out of town but will try that as soon as I get back!
