Do you have voltage to fwd & rev solenoids on the control? If no, you need to trace down an electrical problem. If it is a 2006 or newer, it has the operator presence module. Check the brake pressure switches and seat switch. If you have voltage, check trans pressures.

hi Logic, trans uses special fluid called "Hytrans" "Tractor Trans" Hy-Ken etc. it is a dual-purpose hydraulic and transmission fluid.
have you taken pressure readings of the transmission yet?
