How do I adjust a hydrostatic transmission for more reverse?

9 years ago

I have a Poulan 42" rider mower with a Hydro-Gear transmission T2-AABC-1x1A-1GX1. I wish to adjust it for a bit more reverse, as it has lost speed in that direction to a crawl. I hope someone can tell me how to proceed. Could the problem be a slipping drive belt?

It would be more likely that the linkage adjustment is off. Many of these were adjusted at the pedal below the pan. I had seen a Cub though that had a bracket on the transaxle that interfered with the linkage being able to push the arm back far enough. Start by seeing of the arm is moving all the way into reverse and work from there.

For those following this query, I was able to find a small plate attached to a rocker shaft, which attached to a shifter rod. The plate was attached through an arced slot by a 1/2" bolt. I loosened the bolt, and slid through the arc to adjust. The adjustment wasn't a lot, but I got the extra reverse speed I looked for.
