Broadmoor won't make the grade

Recommended Posts

I bought a used '94 model Broadmoor 14hp/38" with Hydro-gear transmission. When I mow my fairly level front yard it does fine, but after a few passes on the 25 percent grade in the back yard the tractor quits pulling. The transmission housing gets so hot I can't touch it and it blows fluid out the vent. All external adjustments are correct (brake, PTO, belts) and I have performed the air purging procedure and maintain the fluid level (20-50 oil). The belt is not slipping. Shouldn,t this lawn tractor pull this grade without problems? I'd like to change the oil and filter but that's so much trouble I may as well rebuild. Any suggestions? Thanks.
