Joker72 72 #1 Posted Sunday at 08:27 PM (edited) I was plowing with my C-160 (relatively new to me) and it was performing like a champ. I parked it after a second go round at the snow and took a nap. Woke up went out to do a little more and it would not lift and then I noticed it would not roll either. The fluid looks perfect in the hydro. Hoping someone has an "ah haa!" quick fix. My toys broken. Thanks! Edited Sunday at 08:28 PM by Joker72 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joker72 72 #6 Posted Sunday at 09:08 PM (edited) The push valve is not moving without soaking in PB blaster. I don't see any exposed pullys or belts to tell if it's turning. Did fully engage the lever again just for certainty. Thanks! Edited Sunday at 09:08 PM by Joker72 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 44,314 #9 Posted Sunday at 09:15 PM First, like Paul said, with the engine running and the Hydro engaged, look for the transmission pulley behind the front of the rear right tire. It should be turning. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joker72 72 #11 Posted Sunday at 09:32 PM It's a miracle. I disengaged the mechanism in the pic above and re-engaged it and Shazaam! Thanks for your help Guys. I saw everything turning as expected. Thanks so much. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joker72 72 #13 Posted Sunday at 10:46 PM Definitely will. The snow got heavy during my delay. Love that C-160. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
