Did you check your oil level to make sure it's full?

[546cowboy 302]

I would agree with Butch sounds like it's low on fluid and being out in the cold like that it won't work. I would get it inside and check the oil level in the trans.and find the leak. Probably go ahead and drain it, replace the filter and put in new 10W30 motor oil.

876, sending a pm. Either myself or good friend can solve your issue

A bit of advice if I may. If you have to store the tractor outside don't let the blade rest on the ground. I place two small pieces of 2x4, about 8" long, under the ends of the blade and lower it to the blocks of wood. That way the cutting edge of the blake won't freeze to the ground. It will rise off the wooden blocks very easily.

Good luck with the hydro. It sounds like the fluid is low.

I was going to drain fluid put new filter on and someone said that wouldn't help so I left it as is.....refracman I will give you a call

Sounds like pligged filter which will affect charge pressure. Usually the lift wil go first then fwd rev motion.

If the tractor needs to be stored outside, I would recommend using synthetic oil when you do the change.

ARE YOU LETTING THE TRACTOR AND TRANNY FLUID WARM UP FIRST? JUST A THOUGHT.
