This a great video! I have a cheap zero with a ZC-Dubb-3D8C-2DPX and only has 114 hours on it but it has gotten weak on hills and gets weaker each time and I can hear a whine. I am great with engines but never worked on these? Is it rebuildable and worth it? A new one is $800. Thanks for the video.

Yeah, SOMEBODY got inside and saw it wasn't worth the fix so they haphazardly slapped it back together and sold it. Or the mechanic just threw it back together to give it back to the owner, who in turn sold it knowing it was shot. BTW, love your videos. You have a wealth of knowledge, but even moreso, you have a great demeanor and patience that is evident in your videos. Good teacher brother!

I have watched this video before and now I have the same one. The only issue I have with this one is the seal that is behind that brake sprocket. I was able to find the kit number through hyper gear though. I should be able to pull that seal and put the new one in without removing the transmission and replace the sprocket and c clip

@JeepAddict 2 жыл бұрын

Silly question, but if a guy wanted to replace his zt 2200 hydros, could he replace them with zt 2800 hydros? The mounting tabs, hubs, and linkages other than the parking brake seem to be the same but not having them side by side, it's hard to tell. Any info would be appreciated

They make rebuild kits for these between $300 and $350 that has the two hydro motors, pump housings, seals and everything you need for the hydro mechanical side, not counting things like the drive gears and outside fan and pulley, even comes with a gallon of fluid.

Have a zt3100. Loss of power due to cooling fan hitting battery and acid everywhere. Overheated transmission. Long story short got it all back together and now I have 50% power from that hydro-gear under load. I've bled it and done everything I could possibly do to fix. Any idea what it could be? I'm going to pull it sort and see what I can find but not sure what I'm looking for. TIA

I have a older john deere L130 Tractor with hydro trans. It never performed as well as I needed and I replaced it with a another tractor and parked the old john deere for years. When I had time to researched about the transmission decided it wasn't worth the money or labor to miss with it and tried to give it away ( nobody would take it). So as last ditch effort I changed the oil to 5w50. Now many years 12 years it final runs great. All the power I needed much better than when it was new. I found out through research that John Deere to save money didn't fill with transmission manufacturer recomended oil to save money, they used standard 30w oil instead of higher grade fluid 5w50 . I almost replace transmission $1200. Thanks John Deere.

Troy built used to be good long lasting pieces of equipment but that has sure changed. Couple years ago I got a new troy built blower that developed carb trouble after about 10 hours of use. Because it was under warranty I had a new carb put on no charge. Then that went bad . Had an older small engine guy work on it & he said this is junk.

I rebuilt my transmissions, bought new pumps kits . sanded the revolver barrels 400 up to 600 grit. still does not pull/work correctly. But one thing I did notice when I had them apart. I have two 7 barrel revolvers in my hydros. I've watched a few of these videos, Every one I've watched, I see a 7 barrel and a 5 barrel in their hydros. Do you think that it could be my issue ?

If it’s a 2200 then for sure. Does the other side have 2 5 barrels?

A new unit is almost $850. I would say it would be cheaper to rebuild it rather than replace it. I am working on the same unit for a friend and need to go the cheapest route for his small business.

Is a transmission worth rebuilding ? it depends on the price of a new one and, IF you rebuild it, you know it will be done right. Not like them, John Queer mechanics that put 5W30 oil in a hydrostatic transmission.
