SLTX1054VT won't move

[Oceantoad]

I have a SLTX1054VT with the hydrostatic drive. It started slowing down going up small inclines the last few times I used it. Now it won't even power through a turn. I checked the mower deck belt, fine. I checked the drive belt, fine. I have watched a few youtube videos on putting fluid into the hydrostatic transmission on other tractors, but I don't think this trans has any access or fill ports. I have read that they are sealed at the factory. Is there a way to fix this issue? Suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I'd double check your hydro "drive" belt. Had one that did pretty much the same thing and I " thought " the belt was good. The belt runs the pump all the time regardless if you're moving or not. So it could slipping and you really don't know it. You have to remove the deck for replacement. Not real fun.
And yes no way of checking the oil .

Thanks 4get gto. I'll look at it again. Hope it's something that simple.
