I have a Toro with RWD it's 6 years old. Traction does not work I changed the belt and the drive cable. If I lift up the mower while it's running the rear wheels spin like crazy but when I put it down nothing?

Is it one of the Toros with a hydraulic drive? What is the exact model?
Lose a couple hundred pounds. Fat asses like you need more than a Toro.

Is this a self-propelled lawn mower or a garden tractor?

If this is the correct mower and if adjusting the traction cable doesn't solve the issue, I would check the belt pulley attached to the transmission input shaft. I would make sure that pulley is firmly secured in place and not spinning on the shaft.
Please, let us know what you discover.
They probably figure most people never change the oil anyway. ;-)
I also wonder what the warranty is on the engine? That is probably the period they consider to be the life of the engine........ guess that sounds pretty skeptical huh?
That's one of those that sets it's speed to your pace, right? I think they are a little more complex than the fixed-ratio drive mower but I haven't looked into them.
