Just connected my loader to the tractor. Loader raises and lowers fine, but tractor won't move. I drove it to the loader and all was fine. I disconnected the loader hydraulic lines and it still won't move. What could be the prblem?

Thank you chim. That is exactly what happened! I feel so dumb. Tunnel vision had me thinking it was related to hooking up the loader.
You got off easy. From personal experience, I know that can happen and I'm happy for you that it's resolved before you were as dumb as I was. As a new member here you may enjoy a repeat of my cranial flatulence. Reader's Digest version:
Stopped tractor (Ford 1210) to go inside for a glass of water. Came out and no movement. Sometime earlier I had a clutch go all of a sudden. DANG, probably happened again. Pushed into the garage and hung front with a comealong and split the little troublemaker. Clutch looked fine. DANG again. Too mad to do anything well, so go for a shower. Replay over and over and then "Hmmm. Wonder if a clodhopper might have caught a lever as I "de-tractored". Yup.

Ohhhh……OOhhhh….is this turning into “dumbass story time”?
I’ll play……..
So there I was drilling out some bolts/rivets and I am pressing pretty hard, but the bits (way more than 1) keep getting dull.
So I press harder and harder and of course “increase the speed”……Well I start adding cutting fluid after my 5th or 6th bit…..Now smoke is POURING off the work piece, and I am “sweating like a whore in church” in the North Carolina 105 degree heat, and 150% humidity…….
As per normal, I am cursing at the top of my lungs, throwing shit around the shop, kicking shit, …….the whole 9 yards…..
When my buddy walks by laughing his ass off and says “Drill is in reverse….dumbass"
35 years later and those damn Jarheads still won’t stop the “bullying”…...

It is an interesting result. How many times have we been in the process of fixing something (or trying to) and it just doesn't work? Out of frustration we take a break or start another job, and while doing something else the thought for the solution comes to mind.
