So my lawn mower after about 30 minutes of mowing will struggle to get up and down a minor grade hill. It just started doing this last year. I've serviced it myself, taking it to get serviced and replaced just about everything except the transmission. In this model there is no way to change the transmission fluid. I'm curious of anyone else has had this problem and what they did to fix it or if anyone knows where I can go to find pricing on a new transmission for this model?

It works fine on flat land the entire time, it's just when I try to get up a hill after a little while it just doesn't want to go up (it is not a steep hill and my neighbors tractors all have no problem handling the hill). I'm considering on putting it up for sale as-is, but if I can fix it for what I could sell it for, then I'd rather do that then buy a whole new mower.

Is the transmission making a loud growling noise or is it more of a whining noise. make sure to check the drive belt because it could be slipping on the transmission input pulley. repairing the hydrogear transmission will run u about 400-500 dollars and replacement will be around 600-700 dollars if u have someone repair it for u.
