A little more information please.
When did this start happening ?
How long have you owned the mower ? if new to you was it delivered on a flat bed with a crane or on a trailer with ramps.

What exactly happens when you move the lap bars, foreward and backward
What do you hear ?
What do you smell?

This started happening three days ago. I have had this mower for 6 years, it was used when I got it. Got on mower, mowed fine for about 10 minutes, backed up then went to go forward then nothing.

Smelled nothing, making no unusual noise. When trying to move bars they seemed tight.

This is going to depend upon which trallies are fitter.
The early modes had an expansion tank to the right side of the engine with a big black cap on the top and two 1" thick hoses going into the bottom.
Latter models were self contained.
On the hydros will be a sticker with the makers name & model number.
Usually you have to look it up on the hydro makers web site.

By the way, it is not transmission oil. It is 20w 50 motor oil. Do not add transmission oil.
