I had a 1995 NH 1215 for about a decade and used it regularly without any incidents. I bought a new tractor so this one has been parked without moving for about 2 years. I decided to bring it out. It started fine like always, drove it about 150 feet and let it run for several minutes. I shut it down and rechecked fluids, the hydraulic fluid was low. I had some TSC universal fluid on hand, granted it had been sitting around for at least 3yrs. The fluid itself looked amberish clear, pretty good in my opinion so I decided to use it. I used about a quart or less. As soon as the tractor was started it made a cavitating sound, like a power steering system that is low and fluid is added, as I drove it down the driveway I thought the air should work itself out. The whine/buzz was felt on the pedal as it was depressed, the pedal got lower and lower, and finally, the machine failed to proceed about 150 feet down the drive. I plan on draining the system and replacing all the fluids in a hail-mary attempt to bring it back to life. Any recommendations and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this is your problem, but it probably did not help.

Universal fluid should not be used in machine with hydrostatic transmission.

Replacing the fluids might help. Likely worth a try.
