Well another trip to the dealer and I had it all checked over as much as they could with out pulling the hydro.They drained trans oil and magneticlly checked it all good. So I drove home (150 miles) got home it did the same thing it would only move 2 feet or so on the trailer Of course it didnt do that after trailering it to the dealer. I jacked it up ran it forward and it made 3 screeches then it was fine worked great. My local cub dealer said the hydro is running out of oil or my disc brake is wedging . It did bounce around alot the roads are rough and it was full of road salt spray. Any ideas ??

Really hope that's got it as these are incredible machines! 
The backwards creep is probably a linkage adjustment under the middle of the frame. Beware the rotating fan!

After all the checks by the dealer I was given the go ahead to use it .So i mowed for about 2 months and then it went . A big hole broke through the rear differential it turns out a bolt on the ring gear loosened up (thats what originaly caused a lock up) let loose wedged between the ring gear and the outside case and then the case cracked dumping all of the fluid .My son was mowing and the tractor still moved until the fluid all leaked out.
So the dealer a (JD dealer in Mount Horeb Wi ) fixed it for parts only cost.
Now I have a tiny fluid leak so when it warms up I will pull the fenders off and look at it. The dealer suspected one of the hose connections was bad.
I hope my diff does not loose a bolt again it seems that this has happened to other cub owners

You mean you had to pay for the parts , oil and transport ???????????? Even after telling them of the problem from the get go , and then them giving you the OK to use it ?????????? Do you have a Consumer Affairs Dept . in your country ? I would be livid if it were me .
The dealer covered labor I had to pay for parts .I bought it used as is and used it for 2 months. I should have returned it as soon as I bought it but I really wanted this 40th anniv. model and the price was right. My fault i should have got it in writing
