1971 Gilson 15 horsepower hydrostatic
Hi All,
Seems like there may be quite a few sharp minds in this forum. My hopes are I can get some insight as to what makes these hydrostatics work, and not work.
I have a few pictures and a short movie showing the unit running. Just doesn't want to move either forward or backwards.

That's fine. Appreciate the options. Any idea where to start as to the hydrostatic not wanting to cooperate ??
Fluid level looks new- maybe slightly low. There was a slight leak- but not a lot of pressure where one would assume the pump would act accordingly. Is there a primer necessary.? Thanks. Rj in Idaho.
