looks like either your reverser has a pressure problem(hows the oil level?) OR both your steering clutches are slipping..... i would A(check oil) B do a complete ( BY THE BOOK) steering clutch/brake adjustment and see what that looks like and does then start looking at reverser is there a filter on reverser? if so when was it changed last?

there is a filter on the right side mid way of the reverser... JD# at15088 and gasket #t84543 napa crosses to a FIL1242 on the filter but that MAY not be right

sounds like you got water inside the steering clutch , i did the same thing last year and it was water that took out the steering clutch. check to see if the drain plugs are in the bottom of the drives. thats where the water would enter.

already change filter on reverser and oil level is right on only thing that i didnt do was to install new steering clutch maybe should had done that while it was all apart,guy i got it from said they were good,im new at this so took his word for it.now its 8 mile in bush at hunt camp,making working on it harder.
