Ford 1210 Hydrostatic Probs - Help Appreciated

[Ford1210AR]

Hey gang, any help greatly appreciated. I have. Ford 1210, 86 model. It has run like a champ the 5 years I have owned it. We were mowing last weekend and it began to make a high pitched whine in the hydraulics when moving and lost speed. It finally wouldn't move. We found water in the hydraulics, drained completely(pulled the plug under pto belly) and replaced all. I didn't change the filter but am planning on it.... It ran about 10 min, did the exact same thing and now won't move an inch. Fluids all look good. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much,
Tommy

HST / hydraulic filter full?

The main hyd filter is full. The center tank ( one where level check is ) is full.... But is there a second fill location?

Not sure where the filter is located on your system but possible the water plugged your filter causing the transmission to starved for oil. Change your filter and see if there is any difference.
