That will have the old Gemini transmissions. Hard to tell from what you describe.
1. Check that pressure release lever is fully engaged on right transmission
2. Check oil level in right trans.
3. Check/replace filter on right trans.
4. check tightness of v belt on right trans. Idler pulley might be seized or not holding tension properly
4. Last resort: Take it to a Grasshopper dealer and have trans. checked out.
how many hours are on this machine?
