Case 580 L backhoe wont go into forward or reverse

Hello guys I am very new and not very mechanical on tractors. I have a 580L backhoe that I drove last summer and parked it for a couple months. I went to move it and it won"t move either direction. Everything was working fine before I parked it. All hydraulics work and it starts and runs like a champ. I have read so many posts about possible shuttle fluid and torque convertor. I am such a visual person. Can someone show me what I"m looking for if I need to add fluid? Please help I"m needing to get this loaded on a trailer and get it to work. Thanks

did you check the convertor fluid level? that's the first place I would check, the 580L I had would burn out relays once in a while but not just from setting
 
been 7 years or so since I had my "L" should be like my 580E though, on the RH side of engine around starter area should be a dipstick, engine off she will read over full, check idling with shuttle lever in "N" pull stick wipe off then reinsert and check, I use only Case Hy-Tran fluid, dipstick may have checking instructions stamped in it as well
