Look under there and see if you can get a name and model number for the hydraulic drive unit.

This a friend of mine who offered to sell it to me if it wasnt a total loss. Motor and everything else is in great shape. I was thinking a wore out belt or something but if its hydro the they are about 500 a piece or so.

Look under the machine with 2 3/4 wrench's up to the right by the clutch break the nuts loose on the bolt and tighten the one that with tighten the belt then tighten the jam nut back up. Do that see if it helps drive belt prob loose.

I saw you older thread about your mower not moving after 30 minutes. Did tightening the drive belt help?
