Just on the chance your mower has the same hydro trans. My old 17 hp MTD built Roper has a very hard to see,and even harder to reach plastic cup on top of the transaxle that contains fluid for the hydro. They say use 10W-40 motor oil in it.
It takes someone who is flexible with small hands to get the cap off that cup,and mine needed a pump with long flexible plastic hose to get the oil under there. Another thing to check is the brake dump valve. Most hydro transaxles have a linkage connected to the brake pedal that stops the hydro when you depress the brake padal. If bent or sticky linkage is holding the dump valve partly open,you will have a very weak hydro drive.
