430 JD Garden Tractor Won't Move

[Cottonpicker]

I repaired a hydraulic leak and then changed hydraulic fluid (JD TY6354) and filter on my 430 JD and now it won't move. Power steering and three point work fine.
HELP

Jack rear up with tires off the ground and run her while cycling forward then reverse, and repeat till you purge the air out of the system. May take a few minutes.

I followed Olcowhand’s advice and after about 20 minutes realized something else was causing the problem. When I put the fenders back on I had moved the high-low range lever to neutral and failed to reset it. Live and learn!

She purrs like a kitten now!

Usually it takes an act of God to even move that lever, so that never came to mind. That reminds me I need to lube my 430's hi lo lever and get it loosened up as it was really tight last time.

If you push down and back it should move a little easier, learned that trick with my 420.
