Default Update!

So I called the dealer today about the tractor. They had a few ideas for me. Most were already listed here. One theory was that there maybe air in the system. The service manager had a couple ideas, one of which was to rotate the wheels. So I pushed it forward in the barn about 6 feet and I noticed oil on the floor. Then I saw there was oil that was running out from behind the right wheel weight and down the tire. Also I could see that the inside of the wheel was completely covered from probably years of leaking. I rechecked the fluid level just to be positive and it was fine. Started it up and there was still nothing. So out of frustration I pushed it back into its spot. I figured I'd try it one more time and holy crap that tractor moves now! I guess rolling it backwards primed something.

Anyway I wanted to share this with everyone in case someone in the future has the same problem. I'm still not sure why this is happening, but at least I know how to make it work. Thanks again for y'alls help with this!
