5.9. If the charge pump is working, but drive has 
been lost in one direction only, one of the charge 
check valves may not be working.                    
See Figure 5.9.
• There is a charge relief valve located in each cir-
cuit: one for forward, one for reverse.
• These check valves enable the charge pump to 
provide charge oil to the side of the circuit that 
has the lowest pressure, while sealing-off the 
side that has higher pressure. 
• The charge check valves are located on either 
side of the hydrostatic drive.  
• The one on the left side maintains pressure in 
the forward circuit, the one on the right side 
maintains pressure in the reverse circuit.         
5.10. The charge check valves can be removed using 
a 5/16” allen wrench.  
NOTE: The one on the right side is easy to 
reach.  The one on the left side will be obscured 
by the auxiliary pump and a steel hydraulic line if 
the tractor is equipped with a second auxiliary 
pump to operate a loader or backhoe.
5.11. When removed, each charge relief valve comes 
out as a cartridge.    See Figure 5.11.
5.12. The output of the variable displacement pump is 
dependent upon the performance of the check 
valves
5.13. If the hydrostatic drive must be replaced, it can 
be removed from the tractor without removing 
the fenders.
