I included a video to show just what it’s doing...or not doing. I hope you can view it?
Thank you all for any help!!

Is the brake stuck on ? I have a 12, but its geared, but maybe the brake is a band type like my 12.

Check with your friend and see what the tractor was doing when it stopped. Also will the wheels turn with the back end jacked off the ground? Normally one will turn each direction if everything is OK the rear end.

Is there a hi/low range differential in it ? If so, maybe stuck in both ranges ? Just wondering. I've never seen a hydro 12 before, so I don't know.

Hmmmmmm
Those are belt driven. Wonder if the woodruff key on the pump is sheered? Is the shaft spinning with the pulley?

The pully that the brake is on does turn as well as every other one that I have noticed.Hmmmmmm

Hello,
The suggestion above to check the belt is a good one, especially since there is a tensioner pulley which is attached to the clutch pedal ( left hand side ) and the Parking Brake ( Knob on the right side of tunnel ) If the Knob is back toward the seat, the tensioner pulley is being held away from the belt and the hydro pump may not be spinning.
EDIT:.To remove the parking brake, push down on the clutch pedal, and lift the Knob and move it toward the front of the tractor.
You mention "looking in the resevoir" - these tractors had two styles, one WITH a hydro reservoir under the seat, and one with a hook shaped "dipstick" affair under the left running board and near the left wheel - also close to the free-wheeling valve, which is usually "T" shaped.
If the tractor has the "dipstick" you will need to remove that and try to add fluid there.
If you have the reservoir and it has oil in it......I would still be inclined to investigate and ensure there was no obstruction between the upper reservoir and the lower holding tank.
Let us know how it goes.

And now having watched the video ........
It appears the hydro is "jerking" to a stop. While I don't hear the motor really loading down, it does make me wonder if the final drive in the axle is damaged or rusted in some way while the hydro system is Ok.
