5488 won't pull

Ashton

I have a 5488 tractor and recently have discovered some of the same problem. We were trying to plant with a Great Pains 2020 drill on the back and go into the field and it wouldn't pull. On the way over to the field we had been having some issues getting it into gear. We were having to turn the tractor off and back on to make it go. Once getting into the field I noticed that it was making a little whining noise and then it wouldn't pull. So I put all new hydralic filters on it. The main filter look pretty dirty. So we tried it agian and it went for about 30 feet and then we use the foot breaks to help turn it and it took all the pressure away to turn it. From then on it never moved. We assumed the transmisson went out. THen we decied to look at the main filter agian. It was stopped up but had pieces of metal like pieces in it. But they weren't shinny like meatal. It reminded me of like a clutch shavings?? We unhooked it from the drill and pulled it to the road and it would go on its on but barly. After letting it sit all night I got back on it and put it in MED. and it went, but not like it should. I don't know what it could be. Cluth pack, hydralic pump, Filter, part in the transmission? Or something setting off that sentery switch but its not comming on.
