on my 2007 model 425 the pistons in the fwd/rev. control would not fully seat and produce a whining sound (cavitation?) this started at roughly 300 hours, until it stuck in fwd (up a tree with the pt thread) until this happened I was unable to pinpoint the problem, repaired once, problem starting to resurface again after ten hours, personally I feel the pistons in the pedal control should have spring-loaded resistance or mechanical linkage of some type or form to prevent this problem, I would speculate if the seals are compatible with the oil in the system, our shop built 200 valve bodies with incorrect type of seals once
