we were plowing snow the other nite, our deere 544g all at once lost steering and hydraulics. we were going through op manual trying to figure out what might be wrong, ten mins. or so have passed, all the sudden, engine shuts off, and acts like it's locked up. the mechanic coming up this week says it's one of two things...what sounds more plausible to you? bearing on input shaft to torque converter seized, or.....hydraulic pump failed and seized up? personally, i think it's hydraulic pump. ideas?
