JD E120 Transmission does not engage

[Jpgow]

JD E120 does not go forward or backwards. Do not hear any whirling or grinding sounds just does not move.

Tractor can be rolled forward and backward whether the bypass rod is engaged or not. When it’s engaged, there is a little ticking sound as it rolls backwards.

From previous car experience feels like a clutch issue, but I don’t know much about the clutch in the JD hydrostatic transmission. Any suggestions on further troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

Is the tranny drive belt turning the tranny okay? May have to remove the fender deck to see how it functions.

Does the effort to roll change when bypass is open Vs closed? Closed it should be hard to move.
