Sunstar hydro issues

I have this posted elsewhere but know Talking Tractors gets more coverage.

I started it yesterday to move it out of garage , it had been working ok up to this point. It moved about a foot and stopped and will not go either direction. Steering and hydraulics seem to work fine .

I did put new engine mounts in and had it lifted as far as it would go to get them in , not seeing how or why this might have caused it to not move , I put a qt of atf fluid in and nothing.  Does it need bleed or is there a valve like on the Sovereigns.

I'm at a loss as to what to do , sure don't want to have to buy a used hydro unit. any help would be much appreciated , thank you

Make sure the Hi/Lo lever has not shifted into neutral.

Lloyd, there are poppets on top of the pump, just like a Sovereign has.  The panel between your feet needs to come off and you will see them if they aren't covered with grass.  I find it hard to believe they got depressed, but it's worth a check.

I'm not sure what happened but I put tractor in low range last night and it took off and has been ok since.

first time I moved range lever it was very hard to move , now it is real easy , so apparently something was sticking.

Josh thanks for info , I'll take that cover off and give it a good cleaning as everything on this tractor was covered in crud
