Seems that the gears are changing, but the back tires don't move. My dad had this tractor overhauled about 8-10 yrs ago and it was running great. I would really like to have it running since this is what I learned how to plow on. [Reply]   [No Email]

Take them apart clean the insides very well, sand blast the parts if needed, also replace disks as well. Disk beaks of that era really need service every 6months to a year, mainly cleaning.

It may be stuck in two gears even though it "feels" like it's shifting. [Reply]  [No Email]

Like said below, try to pull it gently on something loose grass/ground/gravel. Just nothing like concrete or asphalt. [Reply]  [No Email]

The brakes are tight when pushed. Guess this would be a good place to start. Thanks [Reply]  [No Email]

Sometimes dampness will get inside an engine, trans. or rear end, and cause things to rust just enough to cause them to lock up. Have you tried raising the rear wheels off the ground or gently towing it a few feet? Just some thoughts. Good luck. [Reply]  [No Email]
