If the fluid was low and the mower stopped moving the hydrostatic will most likely need rebuilding or replacing. If it only started slipping changing fluid migh have saved it. You can jack up the rear with the tires off the ground and let it run in gear for a few minutes then do the same in reverse. Do this several times if it can be saved it will start pulling slowly when it does make sure it is still full of fluid let it down and drive it or mow with it. It could just be an air lock in the trans.

What would cause hydrostatic to stop working

Usually this is due to a low oil/fluid level in the transaxle. Over time, these units develop leaks. Just be sure to install the proper oil/fluid recommended for you unit.

The mower gets slower and slower and then stops moving completely. I turn it off for five or ten minutes and it's okay ... occuring more frequently ....

The hydrostat transmission is low on fluid. Check your manual, some of these can be filled...most cannot. If yours can't be filled/doesn't have a fill opening, Husq is going to recommend to replace the transmission (sealed unit). There has been limited success by trying to top off the trans thru the vent tube. This is not a Husq approved repair, and is very slow and tedious. But it is a lot less expensive. Good luck!

Ariens Yard Tractor 935 Series - initially drives, then stops moving as it gets warm

Is it a hydrostatic tranmission? If so, sounds like the fluid might be old or not the right viscosity. Recommend changing the trans fluid, and use recommended viscosity of fluid.
