Toro 223D Vibration

[Azaleafish75]

My Toro 223D Groundmaster has a severe vibration when traveling. I can get out of the by easing up or going faster for a second but it comes back. It happens whether the mower is engaged or not. Everything else works as it should. All fluids are checked. New hydraulic filter.

Check the hydrostat coupler, from engine to hydro? Is the transmission mounting bolts tight. Are the mounts on transmission cracked or broken?

I will check this tomorrow, thanks.

Jim MN, I crawled under the machine looking for loose trans bolts. They weren't loose but the axle to frame bolts had about a half inch play. They had beat the head almost through the hole and the washer by the nut was cone shaped around the nut. I don't think the previous owner did any maintenance. It took a torch to get them out. Put new bolts in and no death wobble. Thanks for guiding me under the machine.
