Transaxle issues are rare? There’s a laugh. Just spent half an hour reading up upon the problems with the k46 transaxle and how Deere being cheap and specifying the wrong oil and no drain plug is behind failures at 100 hours!! 

Don't believe everything you read. I have sold many hundreds of transaxle driven mowers (many on JD) yet only replaced 2 or 3. The ones I did replace were down to gear failure of the differentials on machines that were being used for towing trailers of soil on sitework where a lot of wheelspin was experienced. I have never replaced a transaxle on a 100 series JD and still look after some 20 plus year old machines on original axles. Anyway, Doobin, you have bought one, is the transmission OK in yours?

No, it takes ages to warm up to the point where it works,  and it fades in and out a bit - sometimes top speed, sometimes not. Only 94 hours on the clock!! Pulls strong up hills once warm. 

 

I did did follow the purge procedure as it’s been stored for over a year, but come this morning after working ok and there’s nothing at the pedal again. Belts all ok.

Are you sure the belts is Ok? Make sure it's tight, also ensure that it's not contaminated with oil from a leaky engine. Also check that's it's  a genuine belt. Only worry about the axle after being really sure of the belt
