i have an mtd tractor with hydro gearbox it tend to make this weird noise especially when you accelerate hard if a (mower can acellerate)(more pushing the pedal streigh down from standstill) and towing when i looked there is a mini tank with fluid in and it looks rarther low. Does anyone know weather you need to change hydro gearbox fluid ? if so what do you need to use many thanks

Depending on model of gearbox.
Some are sealed for life, others you can just top up and some you can replace the oil.
Some transmissions take 10/40 oil others take 5/50 fully synthetic.
All depends on the model of box.
