Default Hydro-Gear Transmission, apart on table, see no evil

CC Super LT 1550. Purchased approx 2002. May have been manufactured earlier. Hydro-Gear model: 618-04270A. Cross ref# 317-0610. SN: 6073H30682 (Best guess:some worn away). Really abused pulling trailers, boats and cars. Won't go up small incline. Very low power. Loud groaning. This is my second trans rebuild. 1st one was 25 yrs ago chev 1500 4x4 automatic. There was very obvious wear on that one. Done right with alot of time and manual. Can't find a manual for this one, but is alot simpler inside. Very small trace of oil from right outer seal that held a little dust, not a significant leak. Full of oil. Dragged a magnet thru drained oil with no metal result. No metal build up on inside magnet but smudge of silver paste, and small smudge on bottom of case. I think that may be normal. Apart on table, everything out and disassembled, with no obvious wear. Gears all look the same, no sign of chips, or loose fit. The 10 bullets seem to fit closely into the 2 chambers. Filter apart with nothing, all clear. Examined every piece with no apparent wear. There is about 3-16" play moving axles left and right, toward and away from case before tear down. Question: since I have no experience, I'm wondering what I should be looking for. I'm hoping one of you guys are perhaps a CC dealer's mechanic, or the guy they send their trans-axles to, and knows just what to tell me.

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.
