Eww.. I am not an expert on hydros, but that don't sound good.

I bought a used Toro time cutter and it works I can cut the grass....but it seems like the left wheel is weak . The right handle can make it turn on a dime but not the left.

To go in a straight line I am constantly adjusting the handles ..


There has to be some kind of adjustment to adjust the power to the left wheel to balance them out.

Thanks in advance

I have a Timecutter 4200, and my right drive gets very sluggish when it gets hot. Thinking fresh oil would help. The drives are sealed units, but there is a drain plug and filler hole. Question, the filler hole is at the top, meaning you have to remove tye unit to fill it. Can you use the overflow tube to refill the drive? Unless there is a one way valve, I can't see why. Just wanted to ask before I drain the drive and get into more than I expected.
