I started my 125 Hydro today from winter storage and tried to put the shift lever into reverse..... it wouldn't move either way, it's just stuck. For some reason the wheels are free-wheeling and the release lever moves up and down without any resistance. I have no Idea how that Release lever is suppose to work. What's the fix to getting it into F/R? The grass is getting pretty long.

A comment on my question.... I did look in the Archives and (Wvogel)on July 26, 2007 at 8:54 had the same problem. What are the release buttons?
And it sounded like lube was all that was needed to fix it?????? Also sounds like to engage Release just pull it up with engine running and brake is off???

Mike C. Nice progress with the deck.
I finally got all the lawns mowed Sunday afternoon. The 125 deck belt broke so thankfully I already had the deck mounted onto the 782D. Four 1/2 hours later everything was done. I mowed around 1 3/4 acres for the town. Thank goodness our local implement dealer brought his golf course size TORO over and helped. One round with that equals about five of mine.
Tom F. If you lft the hydro release lever down and locked all winter chances are your two check relief valves are stuck. Spray a GOOD penetrant (not WD40) onto the top of the buttoms if you can get dlose to them. Wait a few minutes and then fire the tractor up. It'll be a pain to get to the valves only more than likely that is your problem.
Off to work so eveyone have a wonderful and SAFE day.

Mike,
The deck is lookin' great. Can't wait to see it all together!
Tom,
Marlin hit the nail on the head. Relief valves are probably sticking down. That will keep the hydro from moving. The hydros, with proper maintenance, are bulletproof. I suspect that's your problem, too.

Mike, looking good! Ooooo, vintage Arctic Cats!
I spent a bunch of my youth riding a 1972 Arctic Cat 292 Panther. PHOTO HERE, scroll all the way to the bottom.
