I don't know much, but I do know when a tire slips on the rim. david
David -I like to ask questions to people that know something about what i'm talking about. if you do know much about this model, why would you comment. david
I don't know anything about your model, but you can damn-well bet I'm going to comment.
You came here looking for help, but your responses have been somewhat limited to scoffing at responses to your problem...are they your solutions? Maybe not, but you don't look a gift horse in the mouth.....and you certainly don't kick him in the teeth.
Like it or not, the great guys at OTT can't diagnose your issue from hundreds or thousands of miles away...Drive issues with an HST can be quite complicated. I've been an active member here for a while, and it's amazing what the collective expertise here has done over the years.
Your tractor was made from 1988-1997. I'm only guessing at this point there could be relatively few left; meaning a smaller group of members here familiar with your model and troubleshooting same.
I would download a (free) Workshop Manual for a B1550HST at:

That should give you some help, because I'm not one of the "people that know what I'm talking about."
Given your limited description, "tan" fluid concerns me, especially after 4 years of sitting and a new fluid change. Given your account, I would focus there. Water/condensation is my concern, but it could be something different or more serious.
Is the fluid milky, smell burned, can you post a picture of it on the dipstick or white paper towel?
If you provide some more detail, maybe OTT can help.
It's a two-way street.
Good luck.
