1972 CC model 149. Its been running great. Now the motor still runs fine but grinding clanking noise when I try to engage hydrostat. Troubleshooting repair suggestions? I'm not sure where to start.
That rag joint looks like toast. Is it still intact?Looked pretty much like fluid usually does maybe a bit more opaque. Down about an inch from fill port. Nothing obviously disconnected under the cover
It may be turning easily because a pin has sheared. Check the pins at both ends of the driveshaft. Replace that rag rag joint too. I had one fail on one of my 149s. The drive shaft swung wide, wiped out the filter and almost took out the metal hydraulic lines. Oh, the fan was wiped out too.Yes it’s still intact and will turn easily
