Should the hydro tranny for this tractor free wheel with out turning a valve?

I drove the tractor around for a while after letting it run for 15 min or so and it didn

That's fairly normal for the Eaton 1100 models, John.

There should be some resistance and they sometimes tend to push easier with the DCL in the "full speed ahead" position.

WHEEEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It rolls pretty easy with the lever neutral. Of coarse, I didn't really push it around much. I can check it out some more when it stops raining in a couple of days. Thanks for the relief! I thought I was going to start smoking again, it's been 2 weeks without a smoke.

I almost got caught with this when I got my 520H - was so used to the old Sundstands not wanting to be pushed unless the tow valve was open. Guess the Eaton is a different animal!!

I don't think my C145 pushes around and that has an Eaton but I can't remember if I even tried to push it.

Hmmmm I guess I'm going out to push tractors in the rain.

Well, Cant add much, but congrats on the 2 weeks Smoke Free!! Keep it up!

the clicking sound mine makes when I push it sounds like a ball bearing bouncing around. It doesn't sound good but it's normal, I guess it's a check valve.

My 418A roll pretty easy but also makes the loud clacking noise. If you try to push it faster there will start to be some resistance. If she goes up and down hill or up out of a ditch when hot you are OK

Huh... the 520 I had was a bear to push, and it did not make those noises... it was strong and trouble free, though.
