Once again curiosity has bitten me! We have a handful of "professional" collectors around here, and one thing I see a lot of. When they are moving a basket-case, whether loading it on a truck, or just relocating it, I notice one or both drive wheels will be locked up solid. I'm wondering what is causing this. Could the axles be rusted that tight to the housings? Or would the brakes be seized up after sitting for an extended period of time? The reason I'm asking is, I have a 1949 JD A(Dad's only NEW tractor), and I want to prevent that from happening to that tractor. It does run, and it is stored inside. Need I be concerned?

Could be trying to pull start the tractor, or pop loose a stuck engine. See it all the time if you get to a large old tractor auction early enough. Mike

When I loaded my basket-case JD B The rear wheels were locked up and I thought the worst (broken trans, etc.) Turns out the brakes were just stuck tight. I'd imagine same thing happened there.

Solidly,block it up off the tires. Every 3 mos.,start and run it.Use all the gears,brakes,pto,steering lock to lock etc.Warm it up good. Once a year,before you start it,crack all the drains to let out any water from condensation. Water goes to the bottom. Keep GOOD FRESH gas in it. Also check for water in sediment bulb and drain. By running it off the ground,you will keep bearings and seals lubed and pliable and won't flat spot the tires. Like anything else in life, use it or loose it.

It could be a number of things such as shifter is stuck in gear ,gears stuck due to water getting in housing, ring and pinion stuck ,teeth broken,brakes stuck,or all of the above.

One a JD most of the time its caused by the brake pad rusting to the drums. Best way to stop it from doing that is to drive it once in a while.

It also can be the CLUTCH is STUCK to the flywheel...but if your eng turns over that can't be it...start it up and drive it once in awhile, that way you also lube the bearings and get the seals moist That's just my 2cents....MV

All of these guys are right! but you need to think about it a moment, did you press in on the clutch did it change anything? are the brakes responsive? Is the motor turning over? These questions will narrow down the 3 tractor sctions.

I believe HIS tractor is fine.He's asking about the junk he sees his neighbors loading on their trucks.At least thats how I read his post.I could be wrong.
