Ran the tractor yesterday fine. Started it today, let it warm up and it won't move. If I engage the COM, it will stall the motor. Pressure gauge is in the green. Is it a valve/ converter?
 
What gear did you put it in to move it??? If it has been real cold there you may have ice in the rear end so the bull gears can't turn, or the brake discs are frozen on. Bro could also be correct about it being locked in two gears.
Your problem is likely not in the converter drive , but in the rear.

If you got it stuck in two gears, you may not be able to "pop" the cover off without using a flat bar or screw driver to get it back into neutral. If you pry on it you will break the cover, because the rails protrude under the trans. web when in gear.

It feels as if it shifts in and out of gear normally, high and low range seem to work as well. Should I try to pull it around a little, see if the rears drag?
 
I wouldn't try pulling it. Maybe try rocking it by hand a bit. The 430 that I had was pretty gutless, but it was worn out, and also a dry clutch. I assume that the com
has 2 ranges? If so, my 430 would only start out in 1 on the high side, and then you had to feather the clutch.
 
Jack up the rear and try turning the rear wheels by hand first. If one turns backward, and other turns forward, block one wheel and see if you can still turn the other wheel. You could break something towing it.

Thanks guys, I'll give it a whirl when I get home. It is 60 years old and I'm sure that she's getting old.
 
Turned out it was stuck in reverse and 3rd gear at the same time. The shift fork jumped out of position. Thanks for the help.
