2004 Hustler Fastrak Model 926519 -- Bad Hydro Drive???

Hello Guys,
I'm a new member here. Excited to see what I can read and learn here at Lawn World Forum.
I have been given a 44 inch Fastrak model number 926519. It's a 2004 model.
The previous owner did not want to deal with the cost and aggrevation of repair---thus I have a new mower!
It has the Honda engine. Cranks and runs flawlessly!
Unfortunately, the repair will most likely be a very expensive one. The hydro gear drive on the left side has failed
to work. I've verified that the unit is being driven properly by the belt. I am just trying to determine what my next
move needs to be.
I've pulled down the parts manual and the owners manual from the Hustler website. The part number for the
drive unit is 788067 311-2600L. I do not have an hour meter on this unit. Therefore, i have no idea how long
it's been since it has been serviced or if it's ever been serviced.
I do think that I can feel a slight effort in the pump but not enough to muster any movement in either direction.

Can you recommend what my next course of action should be?
I cannot seem to find a fill plug for the oil. Nor can I find a check point plug.
I did find a drain plug. I would like to check for proper oil level first. How can
I do this?
Is there an external filter? Should I waste time changing oil and filter? What is
my best option here?

Should I look for a replacement unit? I've been unable to find the part available and am concerned about the
cost if i do find one! Is there a replacement available?
Is it possible to repair the unit I have? Are the internal parts readily available?
Are there any know problems with these units that I should look for that might save time and money?

Boy, I'm just full of questions and no answers. LOL. Thanks for any help that you can give.

Harry
