Yes, the entire shaft assembly was turning with the engine running. That's why I assumed I overheated and blew the pump but now I know from a previous post that there aren't clutches to overheat and burn up! (Thanks for the education, J-Mech!)
I did not consider a plugged filter or plugged line, so will check all that and I think I may just put fresh fluid in, seal it up, and try again.
I only run the Cub Cadet fluid in any of my Cubs. I don't know what the charge pump is, so will go look that up.
