I have an older John Deere Lt 155. I can't make out the numbers on the sticker due to them being scratched off but it ends in 062276. It has a 15hp Kohler on it. Model #:CV15S Spec #: 41562 Serial #: 2900714811.
A friend brought it over and asked me to try to fix it. I always try to help a neighbor out. The story I was told was it just stopped moving. Thats all that I know. It has the hydrostatic transmission and I think the part number is AM880203. The lawn mower starts and runs as it should. But when trying to move forward or backward, it will barely creep, if at all. It doesn't make a noise, it just doesn't move. I've looked underneath, and it looks like all the pulleys are all moving like they should. As well as the one on top of the transmission. This one is free of any debris.
I know this is an unservicable transmission. The local john deere guy said a new transmission would run over $900. Which is more than the tractor is worth. Is there anyway I can check to pin point for sure that it is the transmission is bad?? Thanks for any help ahead of time :smile:
