Greetings fellow CC'ers!
I have been thrilled thus far with my 2006 (I believe 2006) LT1045. I read all of the reviews before buying and saw that maybe the newer CC's aren't build like they once were...
Last Saturday, I was cutting the grass at my cabin and going up a little hill when all of a sudden my mower made some weird noise and stopped moving forward. I quickly moved it to level ground and turned everything off. The mower made some "hissing" noise, but also sounded like something was spinning... but I couldn't locate what it was. I gave it a few moments to just sit and then started it back up, it started right up. The PTO worked (cutting blades were spinning), but the mower still wont move forward.
I immediately thought... great, everyone online (reviews) were right and the transmission just went out...
After reading more on this site as well as watching a YouTube video (

I didn't know to look for this best last Friday, but I am going to go back out there this weekend. I did see that fan was still connected and in one piece, but didn't know to look for a drive belt.
I am reaching out for any pointers of what I can/should be looking for. Also, does this sound like a belt issue, opposed to the transmission?
I am happy to provide any other details, but please know you have a newbie here, so technical terms my be difficult, but I will get there!
Thank you in advanced for any and all guidance, its much appreciated.
