Repairs Anybody replace a wheel motor?

Just wondering how hard it is an involved to replace a wheel motor. My mower has a hard time going backwards, goes forward fine.
I am suspecting a wheel motor is bad. Only has 250 hours and I just changed the fliud and filter at 240 hours using the mobil 1. It was doing it before that change. Has been getting worse the last 50 hours or so.

I have seen the Hydro Gear motors online for about $560 so I am sure at the dealer installed will be twice that.

Thanks,

Are you referring to the transaxle?

The thing on each wheel the hydraulic hoses go to and the wheel is attached to.

Guess I should mention this is on a IS2000
