Thanks for the comments and help so far. While I'm still a bit nervous about what I'll find, and the potential for damage is real, I'm hoping that things might still be salvageable.
Several years ago I replaced the coupling that joins the driveshaft with the pump shaft with the JD recommended retrofit kit. I'll inspect that to see if it may have become loose, but I'm thinking that it should still be OK.
Earlier today I spoke with a local JD service rep, & he suggested that one of the bypass valves may have become stuck open. He suggested I raise the rear wheels off the ground & try running the trans in 1/4 forward & reverse to see what happens. At the same time I'll check the shaft coupling.
FWIW, the tractor was towed about 25 yds at what I presume was a fairly slow speed. See what happens...
