With release pulled out it should move. While jacked up start mower and try to run it in forward and reverse.
Why does my hydrostatic transmission won’t move?
Entraining. By far, the most common reason for hydrostatic transmission failure is old hydraulic fluid. John Deere states that “Operating outside of the recommended oil air temperature range may cause premature hydrostatic transmission failure.” Oil must be changed when its anti-foam additive decays.
Can you make a hydrostatic mower faster?
You can make your hydrostatic tranny go faster by installing a bigger pulley. If you get it right, the speed could surge spectacularly. It can, however, get more complicated than it sounds on some models so tread carefully here.
