I have only mowed 3 times with my "new" tractor this spring, unfortunately today I mowed about 2 acres with the parking brake on. The tranny got so hot the plug with the little cotter pin head sticking out started to drip transmission oil. Oil was all over the mid mount mower deck.
What kind of damage could I have done besides shortening the life of the brake (pads?) The engine never overheated, the temp stayed out of the red on the guage. But I was wondering why the temperature was as high as it was, it was not that hot out today (80F)
I'm assuming the brake applied is what heated up the oil and not the pulling load, as I could not even tell the difference with the brake on...
The oil is dripping out the hole in item #24 of the following parts list. The HST unit is in that housing from what I can tell. Do you think I blew out a seal on the HST or worse?
I let the tractor cool for a few hours, topped off the tranny oil, and started it up. The tractor drives fine, but there is a steady drip out of that hole while it is running, and while it is turned off. That case is filling up with oil, which I assume is leaking out of the HST unit.
