Potash123 26 #1 Posted August 23, 2018 Engine is absolutely fine, cutting section engages fine, but the hydraulic drive will not engage and there are many bubbles coming up into the reservoir, Help please. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wristpin 400 #2 Posted August 23, 2018 Is the machine new to you? If so are you aware that the hydro drive will probably have a by-pass or dump valve to allow the machine to be moved without the engine running? If that is open the machine wont move. If it is closed there is the possibility that the pump has entrapped air and needs to be bled. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The issue is dating your machine. if the Honda is original equipment the machine is "relatively" recent . Most of the Condors that I had anything to do with had Kohlers. If you Google Hayter Condor Hydrostat there is plenty of information. The problem is matching it to your machine. A few images of the hydrostat may help.

Potash123 26 #6 Posted August 31, 2018 My mate has given up with this Condor and stuck it on ebay for spares or repair current bid £102. It looks really nice. Can't help some people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
