I've got an 03 S150 with about 16xx hours on it. Pretty sure its a Kubota V2203? The machine is used very infrequently and last time I noticed it made a whirling noise when turning and just didn't seem 100%. I used it this weekend to move some firewood and it started to stall out on me after 45 mins or so I hurried to get it back in the shop, it stalled, fired right back up. While it was in the shop I started it up and the "Hydros Charge 24" light came on steady. I shut it down. Looked around for obvious leaks/issues/etc. On the next start up it beeped a few times. No codes are being shown. So it starts and runs fine, at idle I can move around no problem - didnt put any real load on it. Once I put it at half throttle it starts to bog down and want to die out. I adjusted the pulley as mentioned on here - and I suspect that pulley/tensioner is bad. I pulled the dust cap and it was still greased up from when the belt was changed 1-2 years ago. It sounds.... not great? No luck on finding where this "Bronze" hydraulic bushing may be -- any pictures? If anyone could give me some pointers I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Drew
