Since you will have to dig into it to fix it, does it really make sense
to procrastinate on digging into it to find out what you need to fix?

Didn't, actually, Pete. I got the wrenches out right after I posted. It
takes a while just to get down to the motor/tranny.

I can chock the machine and put it in forward, and the motor sounds like
it's running, but it doesn't have enough torque to move against the chocks.

Hmm...

Bypass the controller and see what happens. Put jumper cables from
one 12 volt battery to the motor directly - motor should run. If id
doesn't you have motor trouble. If it does you have controller or
battery/cable problems. My bet is on a blown controller.
