filter clogged??? seems unlikely but... when you say locks up... do you mean skid to stop?

Is there a keyway to the pulley thats sheared? I would think you would notice something like that but its a thought...

i backed it off the trailor and it was jearky put it forward and it went smooth for a while and then locked the whole rear end right up wont go forward or backward. could it be the gear box on the right side.

If you have items for sale put them in the classifieds or pm the person your self. Talking tractors and show and tell are not parts stores.

Thats what I love about this forum. People are willing to help! I would not have been able to unlock the rear end on the 6 speed without all the info people volunteered!

yukon, if you push in the freewheel/transport valves will it roll? This is a 'L' shaped plate under the seat that pushed down on a couple of nipples sticking out from the top of the transaxle on the left side. This releases the fluid check valves. With these nipples depressed you should be able to push the tractor (though not easy) to move it. If not then you have something come loose/broke in the transaxle. The gearbox on the "right", I assume is the differential on the right side axle...and no this cannot lock up the tractor from moving.
