hello all, I have a lt180 and i put a new drive belt on and it wont hardly go, if you let off of the foot pedal it will build momentum and go but not like it used too. It still goes but is there an adjustment or something?

i have just read that it could be the hydro transmission fluid, is that a possibility? and if so what type of fluid goes in ATF or high grade oil?

Likely it is a #46 tranny they only last about 100 hours of mowing about 1/2 cost of tractor to replace.
