Simplicity Citation Project Mower Lets Fix it

[@adamnordh3952]

Hello there, I have the same issue. But when i put the test gauge or manometer on each hose, its leaking where the hose sat. I get pressure on the manometer but its leaking out where the hose sat. Any ideas?

I have a 52" simplicity citation with the 23 HP Vanguard. I don't know how it compares to yours exactly but do you have a video for replacing the starter motor?

[@builditright4666]

No sir but I bet you can figure it out.

[@00powerstrokin]

Do you know what size fitting is needed to make that tester for the hoses?

[@builditright4666]

not right off but it was all stuff from the hardware store

[@oldkicker8958]

What line did you use for your test. Upper/lower A/B? Greatly appreciate it. Thx!

[@builditright4666]

tested all of them mostly just to compare pressures.

[@oldkicker8958]

In series then. Thx!

@@oldkicker8958 I just unhooked both lines and tested them individually. oil and pressure will only come out of them when the drive levers are moved

@@builditright4666 thank you. I mow five acres just outside of KC. I always use my JDs. Bought this one from a customer of mine for about what you paid in similar condition for a project, it’s been fun learning all the hydro stuff. Stout little machine. I’m almost finished had to order a new left wheel motor but it’s a Oregon brand. I bought two motors actually invade there’s a difference in performance they are coming as a pair. Thanks for getting back. Your videos helped a lot. 👍

My Citation is weak on the left also, no doubt the same problem, where is the followup video on this ?

[@mattglenn3514]

No way it’s the pump. If you have 2500 psi in reverse then the pump is working fine . It would be in the drive motor . Your pump doesn’t change direction. There is a valve system controlling the flow of the oil driving the motor . Just my 2 cents

[@builditright4666]

I fixed it years ago watch all the videos on it

[@rangerbandit911]

What did you end up doing?

[@builditright4666]

I fixed it. I think there is a video where its all finished up.

[@00powerstrokin]

Do you happen to know what size fittings you needed for that gauge. Mine is doing the same thing and I want to test it before I open it up
