'98 Sears/Poulan Hydrostatic Trans - Used Mower - Yeah or Neah?

I'm looking to buy a used mower and found a '98 Poulan 42" with a 14.5 HP oil-filtered Briggs engine. Seems to be in good shape but I have read about the issues with the Hydro trans. This mower was used to cut 1.5 acres of grass about 8 months out of the year. Seems like most slipping issues can be corrected/avoided by changing the oil in the transaxle.
Is this pretty much the case or should I avoid a used mower with this trans and try to find a traditional unit? One big questions is whether or not parts are available for this unit. Some posts have said no but others have talked about replacing individual pieces - are they getting these parts used or can you actually buy new internals for these? Thanks for your help!
