1525

Hello everyone, new to the forums and I wanted to ask will a 42 inch deck from a 2005 LT 1040 to fit a 2003 1525? I currently have an LT 1042 that experienced a block crack And someone locally to me is selling eight 1525. The mounts look similar from a distance, but I figured I would ask here...

My Cub 1525 has525 hours on it and has been well maintained. All of a sudden, it goes like hell on the level forward and reverse, but won't move on any kind of grade, even the smallest. I have replaced the main drive belt with no luck. Any advice? I am about to junk the tractor if no one has any...
