Thanks CTTractor.. I appreciate the help -
I got the floorboard loose enough that I can look under it and theres not much to see there.. everything is dusty so the leak is not coming from there.. so i dont have to take the dash apart to get the floorboard off - IF i had a temp guage i would install it when the dash was to come apart though.. LOL
I've got the tractor running for over 30 minutes and its still not leaking..
I may just have to put it all back together and then mowe next week - and take it back apart then so see if i can see where its leaking..
thanks so much

You're very welcome!
One more thing: the overflow vent is under the seat. You can get at it by removing the seat, then removing the plate (seat plate) to which the seat and seat belts mount. Once those are removed, there is one more plate (called the seat base) over the hydraulic motor/rear end. The transmission vent mounts to the underside of that plate and connects to the hydraulic system with a hose to a vent tube. If that is the source of your leak because you had overfilled the hydraulic system, you'd see oil all over the hydraulic motor/rear end assembly under that vent.
