Hi Guys, I've got a problem with my 2009 Cub Cadet LTX-1045 with Hydrostatic transmission. It has a Kohler Courage 20 HP motor, SV600. I was cutting my yard with it and all of a sudden it started slowing down until it just stopped going forward. I tried going in reverse but only moved a few inches & then it wouldn't move in reverse either. I took the battery out to look at the drive belt hooked up to the hydrostatic transmission and saw a frayed small thin rubber string wrapped around the drive pulley. I think it was an edge that had rubbed it's self off the belt. The belt is still on the mower & appears to be in decent shape. I looked this model year up & it says it has a sealed Hydrostatic drive unit. I am wondering if the Hydraulic fluid has run dry & if so, how do I get into a sealed unit to add fluid, or am I just screwed & need to replace the mower. Any responses would be appreciated. Thanks

This happened to me years ago and the hydrostatic unit was replaced under warranty as they are non serviceable. These are throw away mowers and you have got it's lifespan plus some. Buy yourself a good residential zero turn like a Toro Timecutter.
