hello all, i have an older simplicity broadmoor with 16hp kohler, and 44 inch deck. i have a "test hill" on my property that i use to test riders. its almost a 45 degree incline. everyone of my riders i buy or sell, gets on this hill... most climb right up, some spin the wheels... THIS Broadmoor... stops and sits there, hydro whining. not so much as a spun tire. could the drive belt be slipping on trans input shaft pulley? it is quite sloppy and worn, also had an engine oil leak so im sure it has oil in the belt...thoughts? i dumped the fluid out of hydrostat, and added new. i used tractor supply hydraulic fluid...should i use regular hydrostatic fluid for this model? any ideas appreciated.thanks
