sltx 1054 drives slower aan slower on slopes

I could buy a new tranny for 600 but will it last. My old John Deere went 7 years mowing grass and pushing 9 feet of snow before it gave up the ghost. All I want to do is cut grass now. I have a plow on my 4x4 SUV. I shouldn't have to spend an arm and a leg to just cut grass (2000-3000 is an arm though). I will be contacting Hydro Gear and Cub Cadet this week. I'll let you know what they said.

OK, Cub Cadet offered to tell me where a service dealer is. I told him I know where 4 are. I asked him why something like that would go after 4 years but he had no suggestions. Same thing with Hydro Gear. I also asked them what they thought could have caused that and they said to take it to a dealer. Great help. We are going to try a Husqvarna with a Tuff Torq. It doesn't have an external filter but I'm going to change the oil as soon as it is off warranty and every other year after that. I'll probably rebuild the Cub tranny. it's still in great shape. It'll be my backup mower.
