It could just be a problem with the governor not letting the engine open up enough under load

Had to replace couple gears in transaxle on L118 a couple years ago. Found parts breakdown online, aint no big deal. Take your time.

G, one of the first things I did. It was 15 rpms down at idle and 250 rpms at full speed. I removed all the covers and gave it a good cleaning, replaced the oil, oil filter and air filters. Now it's 0.08 rpms at idle and 65 rpms down at full speed. Not bad for a 15 year old engine. It runs and cuts great on a flat. If I cut the hill first it cuts and runs good, then I can cut the flat without a problem.
1/8 th of my yard is flat. I'm pulling a 20 bushel shredder. The mower shreds the leaves some and sends it to the shredder to be chopped up more. The 12 hp engine is mounted on the tongue. If I let it drop to the ground I need jacks to get it up again. A lot of dead weight before I start shredding and a lot more with a 1/3 load. I collected 47 full loads last year with a problem.
I talked with one guy that had to rebuild his L150 for this reason. The transaxle is like an auto transmission. I need to replace the drive plates. Make it posi-traction too.

hey now. As long as it's not a small engine I'm good to go

Jeeez--you messed up one time and a book is written

You're consistent!!! Always working on something!
