BX 2370 reverse issues

[bo orange]

Howdy, just got this bx in March of this year it was new, has 45 hours on it, have not done 50 hr service, It sat for a week, went out today it just crawls when backing and it seems its only going 3/4 speed forward, will not back up a slight hill,I check the pedals and all seems good, hydraulic is full... anybody got any ideals?? I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow, but dang.... thanks

Check the linkage from the pedals to hydro. I think Paul Short did a video of his linkage being loose and had similar problems. Also has a throttle linkage video, another loose one...

Be sure to put some threadlocker on it before you put it on. Also use a piece of tape on the one side of a boxed end wrench to hold the nut to get it started. Learned that trick here. Worked like a charm.
