14 Series Hydrostat Question

Hey all... 1420 without a mudhog... suddenly this year comes out of the toolshed with lack of ground speed... I usually run between 4 and 4.3 MPH in corn depending on how my rotor sounds like it is handling it... Suddenly without the seperator even engaged and on level ground, I can only get 3.8 MPH out of it in second. Road gear also slow... Reverse a little sluggish, but seems much better than forward gears... fluid levels all good, please tell me hydro is not failing.... even though it is slow, it still pulls the hill coming up onto the road like a champ, maybe a slight loss but not like a hydrostat going out... Can anyone offer any theories or ways to check? We were half an hour away from being ready to go today (would run as fast as we were going to cut beans anyhow), and then we got two inches of rain about 8 hours earlier than forecast.

Had the same thing on my 1440 this year 1/8 on fork 1/8 on lever. 1/4 overall thats a lot of wear picked up a 1.5 mph in 2nd gear. Went from 13 mph to 16 mph in 3rd.
