Somehow a JD 350B in pretty sorry shape followed me home. It runs really strong, and that is the only good part. The price was right and I can not scrap anything. So when it arrived last year it drove straight forward and reverse. It did not turn, and I knew I would have to do steering clutches. So be it. But now I started it up and it fired up like a champ. I can not get it to move in either direction. Now the part I do not get. When I put the reverser in forward or reverse, primarily reverse, it starts to bog the engine down, and would probably stall it, even with the transmission in neutral. Along with that it starts dumping hydraulic oil from the engine compartment. I am perplexed how an engine can bog down with a transmission disengaged. All feels like it is working well internally. Can someone fill me in on the basic concept of this machine so. Thank you
