Your hydro system is one of the largest investments in your mower. This is a in-depth look at how your hydro transmissions work, how to maintain them, how to change your oil, how to make the best decision when making major repairs, and tips on how to get your mower to last longer. Please comment on anything you have found that helps you get more from your mower.
To look up specific parts for your mower go to: parts.wrightmfg.com and search for your mower serial number, select the schematic for your hydro system, select your pump or motor, and you will find the service parts listed under the pump or motor. Your local dealer will have these parts and can efficiently perform any necessary repairs. Find your local dealer at www.wrightmfg.com/dealer-locator/
The recommended oil change interval on Wright Stander is oil and filter annually, or 500hrs in hot or harsh conditions. Use filter 34490002 and 2-4 quarts of Mobil 1 15w50 Synthetic oil.

Your willingness to educate people that are not even your customers reflects highly on you and Wright Mowers. I will make the drive to see your products. Thank You.

change the oil often on those hydrogear transmissions, makes a huge difference. almost as often as you change the oil on your motor. ive had huge performance restoration from dropping the oil. the heat absorbing properties eventually wear out the fluids functioning and it has to be changed.

Thank you for a great job!! Everything else on youtube is just guys changing the oil with their home-grown approach. I am a novice who just purchased a used Exmark and I was looking for a tutorial overview of how these typical systems work including the directional flow and purpose of the various hoses and the pumping logic and function. You did a marvelous job showing and explaining with great clarity and precision. I was starved for a clear dissemination of the basic parts and basic process. It was a joy listening to you and following your discourse. You are a very effective communicator and a very capable instructor. I am in your debt. Again, thanks very much! EXCELLENT WORK!!!

The video failed to mention pre-filling the new oil filter. Always allow some extra time to let all the air purge out of the oil filter element while completely filling it with fresh Mobil 1 15w50. This helps eliminate a huge amount of air getting into the pump and motor, and prevents momentary oil starvation. You will only lose a very small amount of what's in the filter when threading it into position on the filter mount. It's a good idea to take this extra step on all equipment that use spin on filters. Some manufacturers either strongly recommend, or require this prefilling of the new filters on all their equipment and engines.

Hi Ed, I have a Gen 1 Stander X. There was a lot of debris and buildup around both hydros so while rebuilding the engine I took opportunity to clean them up and replace the low pressure feed and return lines. I replaced the fluid and filter (OEM) after the line replacements. I now cannot get the system to bleed. I am following recommendations in the service manual (jacked up and cycling levers with bypass valves both open and closed). Both wheels turn lethargically and can be easily stopped by hand. Any suggestions? I believe the pumps are at the end of their lives (high time-passive leaks) but I’d really like to get them bled and working in the interim. Thanks. -Max

I work at a Grasshopper dealer and get this question quite often. The short answer is no. You can tweak the neutral setting to gain a little. Also you can turn up the RPMs on the engine a little. I wouldn't go any higher than 3680. Some go higher but these engines are designed to run 3600. The small amount of ground speed you'll gain isn't worth the extra engine wear. Hope this helps.

Good info! Hill mounting and keeping sub-20 mins overworking to prevent overheating was very useful! Have 1 related question: Stander X, 700 hrs - at max velocity, the mower banks a few degrees left. When the right (overpowered side) forward control is abruptly released a few cm, there is a low whine. Symptom is isolated to the right side. Checking/lubricating linkages as a first course of action, but suspect internal issue. Dealer has yet to identify issue, may be due to its appearance when temperature is higher, but I'm unsure. Recommendations? Regards

@WrightMowers 6 жыл бұрын

There are two types of issues to look for--a whine and a ratcheting noise. A whine (also often heard when cold starting) is often from a tiny pin hole leak on suction hose between the pumps and the filter--it could even be a leaky filter gasket. Ratcheting noise can come from the suction on slowing down abruptly causing the pistons in the pump to "float" or the check valve in the nose of the motor chattering. Most all mowers can do it, especially when stopping on asphalt where you get lots of traction and reversing pressure. I would not be highly concerned about it as long as it doesn't a lot worse or you start loosing power. If you are nearing 700hrs you may want to go ahead and change the hydro oil (Mobile 1 15w-50)--you only have to replace the oil in the tank, no need to purge the pumps and motors. -Ed

@pocotuts9353 7 жыл бұрын

Very good video. Two questions: I'm curious how the power is controlled to the drive wheels of a zeroturn mower. I assume there is a lever on either the wheel motors, or on the right and left pumps, that controls the flow of fluid to the wheel motors. I assume that the control arms are connected to those levers. Are the levers on the wheel motors or the pumps? If one side of my mower gets just a little more power than the other when I move both control arms forward, does that mean I need to adjust the linkage between the control arms and the lever that I spoke of above?

@WrightMowers 7 жыл бұрын

Poco, Start by going to 2min 20 seconds. You will see how the cradle pivots causing the pistons to go "uphill" or "down hill" to control forwards and backwards. You likely have one of several issues, if you have a linkage adjust it to make that side go faster. You could also have one side beginning to fail... Best wishes, Ed

It could be those o-rings. I'm not one 100% why it might be leaking but I do know that if for any reason the system was overheated it can cause some of the rubber parts to not flex as much and seal as well as they should.
