LX 188 transmission

[Chillimau]

My grandfather has a LX 188 that barely moves. Dealer has replaced part of the hydro pump from what Grandfather says and it worked good for a while and now is moving real slow. Dealer wants $1,000 to fix it. What is involved in rebuilding the transmission or finding a replacement. Does Deere build it or someone else? What would be a good price for the tractor if he sold it as is? I think it is about 10yrs old. Starts and runs good and mowed good until it slowed down. Grandfather was thinking about putting in some heavier weight oil and giving that a shot.

Thanks for any and all advice.

I believe the maker of the trans is Tuff Torq so you might be able to find the parts you need through them and fix it yourself. Are all the belts in good shape?
