Hi all,
I have noticed that my 145 (hydrostatic) mower is loosing drive while using it for an hour as an example. It starts off well when I first start but as it heats up i.e. after about 20 or 30 mins it slowly looses drive. The cutting remains good but it starts to refuse to go up even a slight slope. I have replaced the drive belt (54") as it seemed to have stretched somewhat but that has not solved the issue. I have also replaced the oil filter and given it fresh oil to eliminate the possibly that it was running thin. The engine runs fine. What would be the next thing to look at.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Andrew
