Hey everybody: I just wanted to add that the gears grind and have difficulty shifting also. This seems to worsen when the rear hydraulics won't lift. Could this be a problem in the transmission pump gears, similar to what member Bigtomm described in a thread in July regarding a 2040? Ideas?

When I raise the mower and turn off the tractor, the hitch drops immediately. I am not noticing that the hydraulics are getting hot, but I will pay particular attention to that and post it. My mechanic friend can test the pressure and we will do that.

When I start the tractor, the rear hydraulics lift fine. In a short time it stops working and will not lift the bush hog. Then, later it will start working again. A mechanic friend thinks it is an O-ring in the hydraulic pump for the rear. Any ideas? Serial number is 375013.
