It's either a 2011 or a 2012 model and it is barely moving. The belt looks fine, i have ordered a replacement belt, but havent changed it yet. The pulleys turn by hand...but it barely moves when in drive...any ideas?

can you push it easily with the drive dissengaged ?
If not check the brake for dragging,
Mosty it is behind the right wheel.

I have a 1996 MTD 18HP with Hydro that slowed down. I read where you can drain the Hydro fluid and replace with fresh Non Detergent 30W motor oil or the specific Hydro oil for your machine. I did (30w oil) and I got my speed back :smile:
