I know this may be off topic, but I also know that there are no smarter people in the world than those that read these pages. Since I am looking for information on a mechanical component, it may be of interest to some.
I recently bought a (new to me) Simplicity broadmood 1995 lawn mower in beautiful condition. The wife has given me much heat about it cause it will not climb a hill. I changed the oil in the hydro unit and it is more quiet, but still is slipping internally. It is a hydro gear 311-0750 unit. There is no drain so I sucked the fluid out and refilled. I can dis assemble anything and if I spot a problem, I can secure parts and repair. I can not afford to get a rebuilt unit. if there is anyone with experience with this type of unit, I would be grateful for any advice or guidance on how to repair this unit.
I have searched the net for days and have not found anything other than a parts list.
Does anyone here have advice on saving face with my family?
Thanks for any advice you may have.
