So by searching the internet for my problem i've learned that i'm in trouble. I changed the filter inside the transaxle and still nothing. I was wondering if some of you had the same problem or similar and how do i prime the hydro pump on that side?

Richard,
You need to bleed the hydros .
The important thing is to start with cold hydros and run the engine as slow as it will go why you are doing it.
A cold hydro will have all of the oil at the bottom & air at the top and running slowly prevents the oil frothing up which makes the air hard to remove when it is mixed into the oil.

thx everyone

Did you get it fixed? Reading you initial post, it seems you had this issue before you changed the filter?
Check and make sure your hydro release is not set in freewheel mode for that side. This is the most common cause of one side not driving.
I have had many customers call me with this issue. Usually I find they had to push the machine and set the releases then only moved the one back to the drive position and forgot about the other side.
