First thing I would do is check to see if something is stuck in the pump ... This would cause your motor to not turn and buzz like you discribed

If your pump and tranny turn in both directions freely, I would look into possible low or no voltage at your motors start capacitor. (shown below)

With the motor disconnected from the pump and tranny, does it turn freely by hand in both directions?

Your motor will get hot if tries to start and cant due to a start capasitor issue... I would test it first before we say your motor needs to be replaced.
