perry 1 Posted February 15, 2007 B)well my rough 1000' driveway took down another tractor. this will make number 4 for major breakdowns in the past 5yrs. {the others where cheaper models-throw aways}. i was pushing my first real snow last night and WOW do theese litttle buggers push. i went out to finish today and while i was backing up the tractor it just stopped:(. all pulleys are turning{bgb is good}but the tractor wont move when put in gear. if i try and put it in gear without the clutch it will grind, so i didnt force it. what do you'all think happen?, and how difficult is it to tear into the rearend. i also have the 8hp wheel horse, but i need the landlord for the heavy stuff.

goatfarmer 817 Posted February 15, 2007 Is it possible that you maybe snapped an axle, or similar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-17_Dave 12 Posted February 15, 2007 Check your differential . You could have snapped a gear or a key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wminmi 0 Posted February 15, 2007 Perry ~ not to hijack your thread or anything, but if you end up needing a rearend, let me know, i have a spare just sitting here gathering dust. Never ran it myself, was going to hold onto it for a spare and/or rebuild it for future use, but if you can use it, it's yours. FWIW, i'm in South Haven, Michigan, 49090.....dead nuts on Lake Michigan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPH 12 Posted February 15, 2007 You it grinds without the clutch, does it grind if you step the clutch in? First thing I'd check is the tranny input pulley, make sure the saft is turning too, maybe you sheared the key on that shaft, if your lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian313 0 Posted February 15, 2007 My B10 did the same thing yesterday, the 2 half moon keys on the gear for the limited slip sheared. All the same simptoms as yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the same simptoms as yours. i sure hope thats it. i always jump the gun and think of the worst. it dosent grind when clutch is depress, and the keyway in the pulley is good. i herd NO noise when it happen, and it doesent make any noise when i push it while its in gear. i was too cold to mess with it after a couple of hours plowin with the horse. ill have to fit it in this weekend along with my new woodstove project. it never ends does it. well atleast i will be able to get some garage time :D. i havent been out there in about a month.

Brian313 0 Posted February 15, 2007 Perry, Again Exactly the same as your describing, luckily I had a spare set of keys handy. (Thanks John). Took about an hour and back in action. If you have a different problem though I would be curious what it is. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dlcentral 1 Posted February 16, 2007 Start it up.put it in gear,see if the axle tube is turning going into the diff if it is,something is wrong with diff, or diff keys,etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldone 0 Posted February 16, 2007 That has happen to me before. the pins in the rear hub where broke in mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al 6 Posted February 17, 2007 Hi, The first thing I would check is the axle tube turning when it is in gear and won't go. Next I would look at the collar on the outside of the right wheel. If this collar is loose or gone, it lets the right hub slide out of the differential gears. The collar on the left side being loose can cause the same problem If the axle tube turns when in gear and the differential case in the right wheel doesn't you likely have a broken axle tube. Good luck, Al Eden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
