tractor is used for mowing a remote property gets used several times a year. lately the hydro drive has been getting weak. gets worse when it warms up. finally wouldnt even go in reverse had to let it cool off first. belt looks to be in pretty rough shape would that be the possible reason? or is the hydro itself failing? thanks.
 
Start with the belt.

The way it sounds it's time to replace it, only way you will know for sure if it's the belt or the hydro, maybe a little of both.

When the belt wears it narrows and bottoms out in the sheaves and slips.

Sheaves wear, as well.
 
I missed the part about the belt. LOL. For sure if it looks bad it likely is. IIRC that is no picnic to change either.
