QuestionMy 1999 New Holland LS55 with hydrostatic trans wont move when hot. Had problem last summer after about 1/2 hr of continuous use. Worked great all winter with snowblower in cold weather. I can tell as soon as unit gets hot top speed slows way down and tractor wont go up hills at all.
AnswerI looked online for any info on this model, did not see anything that
didn't cost $40 to download.
In general, check the cooling area, filters, belt tightness, fluid
level, etc.
If you can find some info/numbers on the trans, that may help,
but other than the things I have mentioned above, the cost and repair
will be quite involved.
New Holland likely buys their smaller mowers from another company,
but I have no idea who they are.
That company buys the trans from one of a few companies, and I have
no idea which one.
But if the cooling area, filter, belt, fluid level thing does not apply/help, then you are likely looking at some expense....
