JD LT150 Squeaky Transmission

[d wayne]

I have a 1995 LT150 Hydrostat. Whenever I press down on the forward or reverse petals, I hear a sneaking noise from around the transmission. Has anyone experienced this before? There is a pneumatic assembly that controls the drive pedals right under the seat - could that be it? Or is it actually the transmission?

I started noticing the squeak right after I did the following:
- Power washed the tractor and underside
- Added Gator Blades
- Attached a 7 bushel bagger
- Lubed both deck spindles (38" deck)
- Lubed front axles
- Lubed Deck Lift pedals

Any ideas what it could be? Thanks in advance!

I think you need to narrow down where the squeak is coming from. Try blocking up the axles and be careful to keep out of moving parts and belts.
