My JD 4200 hydrostatic drive rear wheels came to a complete stop while I was driving to my shop after mowing the lawn. The steering and 3 point hitch work and when I put the transmission into neutral the tractor will roll freely. When in gear the rear wheels are locked and depressing either forward or back petals the trany makes noise but fails to move. The dealer is suggesting to take apart to see whats wrong will be 16 hours at $110 per hour. They think total bill will be between $6000 an $10000 depending on what is wrong. What to do?

Sounds like you may have a broken tooth or something jammed in the gears somewhere. Did you try moving in both directions and all ranges?

I think I would take it apart and ask the dealer for some help tracking down the problem. Surely they realize that the 4200 isn't worth more than the $10,000 and will work with you on it.
Or track down a friend or neighbor that will help.
Also can read up on the 4300 thread running here for some insight as to what it might entail.
