I have the above mentioned mower (Model# 13AX615H730) with a manufacturing date of 1/2007 currently with 730.8 hours on the machine. I've done all the maintenance (oil changes mainly) and repairs on it (various, ask!) but have never dealt with the hydrostatic transmission. I noticed a couple of years ago that it seemed to loose what I'll call it's "high gear" speed moving forward. I remember doing some online checking at the time but couldn't even find if this transmission was user serviceable or not (how to drain fluid, etc.). Just recently the mower doesn't move any faster forward than it does in reverse. Still mows and operates fine, just slower.
Question: is this transmission user serviceable? Fluid changes every 250 hours or something?
Any advice or experience anyone could share regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
PS - The MTD site for this model isn't much help:
