Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): hydrostatic drive, toro wheel horse, belt tension


Question
I have a Toro Wheel Horse Model 416 . My problem is reverse, forward is great but reverse is getting slower.Fluid is clean and full, any help.

Answer
Hello Michael:

Usually this is Caused by the Shifter Control having Slipped or a Loose/Stretched Belt. Check the Belt Tension. Check the Connection of the Shifter and the Directional Control. You may need to Reset the Linkage. Send me the Model Numbers Off the Unit, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. **If you Need Assistance in Locating the Model Numbers, then You can Go to this Site Addy; https://lookup3.toro.com/partdex/default.cfm and Select Step 1.**  If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
