Holy smokes what a pain that was......My John Deere LT155 is about 8 years old and has 300 hours on it. I HATE that the transaxle that JD put in it is "unserviceable." That is, you can't (easily) change the oil, and if it dies, you're supposed to toss it and put a new one in it.
So upon the advice of a few tractor forums I frequent, I dropped the transaxle and pried off the fill cap, turned the unit over and dumped out the old, dark oil. I replaced it with M1 extended performance 15w-50.
So far it seems to be working fine.
I sort of wish I had ponied up a few more bucks and bought a shaft-drive Cub with a "servicable" transmission.
Oh well, live and learn......
