1864 no/weak reverse

I've got a 1990's 1864 I bought last year in an effort to not have to fix my awful modern home depot-style mower every other time I mow my lawn.

It's got fairly low hours and is in nice shape, but I noticed that when I bought it that reverse was kinda slow. Still, it worked, and I don't have to reverse that often.

Lately reverse almost doesn't work at all, though. The fluid is fresh and to the fill line in the hydrostat unit. Maybe even a touch high, but not much.

It also seems to speed up on it's own going forwards sometimes.

I tried adjusting the linkage under the cover in the middle of the mower, but it didn't seem to improve anything and I think it's adjusted properly.

I'm maybe imagining things too, but I swear the pump has gotten louder recently. Almost sounds like it's got low fluid, but, well, it doesn't.

Any idea what to try next?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
