Hi guys got a problem ,I'm tring to help a friend sort out , our local kubota dealer lost there kubota dealership , said they can't help any longer , the tractor turns if the levers are both pushed the same amount , he measured the rods on each side ,both the same, has just 28 hrs, just started doing this ,my BX had a bolt that you removed on the 50 hr svc and you cleaned the metal particles from the screen, does the ZD-18 have anything like this? The mower acts as if the left hydro has only 70% power , are there hydro filters on both sides,or one filter for both? Any help that you can give would be great Thanks Craig.
