Check you idler pulley to make sure it has belt tight and the transmission drive pulley, maybe it lost its key. Also check that your axles are tight to the hub and not rotating while the hub stays still.

@Redtickuleez  probable opportunity  ? idler pulleys are  known for  lubrication failure  and typical undersize bearings ,  do a complete  functionality  check for every related belt  hand off  direction ,  a lot of  my problem elimination  is based on REPEDITIVE FAILURE  . look over every stage , pete

There are no idler pulleys or pulleys of any kind in a D series drive train

Does the mid mount or 3 pt lift function? Does teh motion control seem to move OK  (Linkages on Ds are a night mare.  Also make sure tow valve is tightly closed.

paint a line across the hub and axle on each side then after you try to move make sure they haven't shifted.  D series have very hefty axle key but they can shear.

 

Does the engine labor at all when yo try to move???

Can you push the tractor with tow valve closed?

I'm thinking the coupler might have stripped

 Could be that is why I asked if the lift still worked if it doesn't then coupler failure is top of the list.
