Hi, I have a Husqvarna YT42LS riding lawn mower, 2014. 245 hours on it. It slips going uphill. Replaced the mower drive belt. Still slips! Anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks!! Howard Ek 360-904-0940

Try going up the hill first thing when the mower & tranny is fairly cold then try again when it is nice & hot.
Pulls up fine cold but slips when hot indicates the tranny is on it's way out.
Some times draining and refilling with a heavier oil will buy you a few more seasons , sometimes not.

IF it slips both hot & cold double check all the pulleys and in particular the drive pulley on top of the tranny which can flog out the splines so slip under load.
