Has anyone had problems with a 4650 automatic transmission? Mine has an oil leak problem in one of the discs, so some gears won't engage and it doesn't have the power to lift.

4650 hydro/brake problems
low

Picked up a JD 4650 at auction the other day, went through and changed the filters and fluids, and put a new seal on the pto shaft. Now I’m showing a warning light for the transmission pressure. I was draining the hydraulic fluid to check the sump screen and started to see pieces of brake pads in the fluid. I called my mechanic, a nice guy, willing to do the work but says it’s been so long since he’s done a brake job on a 50 series that he has no idea what price to quote me. Have any of y’all had the same work done on a similar model or series Deere? I’m looking for a range whether is as low as $5k or upwards of $20k so I can get a better idea of if it’s even gonna be worth it for me to get the work done or move it on down the line.
