Hi all,

I'm a long time lurker of this site, it has saved me several times! Thanks to everyone for this great resource.

Now with my issue, because I am at a loss, the grass is getting long, and Im ready to sell this thing out of frustration. I have a 1970's 1450 that was working great, but it had a hydro leak from the small circular cork gasket that connects the charge pump to the rear end. I removed the rear end and took off the charge pump and replaced both seals on the charge pump, put it back together, no luck. Thing wouldn't move. Did this a second time to ensure I put everything back together correctly, the tractor still won't move.

The tractor has a new filter with the correct fluid and level. I have (per my local cub cadet dealer) placed the tractor on Jack stands and ran it to try and charge the system. It is pumping fluid, and I can hear the charge pump make a small noise in forward and reverse, but the wheels do not spin. I feel like I am missing something minor…but I can't figure it out.

Any suggestions would be very helpful!
