HI!
Am I thinking wrong? I recently went to move my WC after I had pulled the engine and wanted to get it onto a trailer, it has set for years since we last moved it, but at that time I just took it out of gear and pulled it to the spot it was at. it was around 5 degrees this day but I thought this was going to be a piece of cake, WRONG! long story short- I could not get the wheels to "free wheel" I pulled of the cover of the tranny with the shift lever to see if I could get it to pop out of gear but it was out of gear, I jacked up the rear end so back tires were off the ground, so I could turn them they will move but one wheel turns cw and the other ccw. never as I was turning the tires did I see any movement out of the shafts in the tranny... through a lot of screwing around I slide it onto the trailer.
after moving it I jacked up the wheels off the ground again and I got the wheels to turn independently, it was around 40 degrees that day, I let it set a week and since it was still on jacks I tried to turn the wheels and again, one wheel turns cw and the other ccw, if I block one wheel so it doesn't turn then I turn the other about 3 reveloutions and it comes to a complete stop ...will not turn and further!
all I have is the frame of the tractor I want to push it into the garage but I'm thinking if I drop it back onto the ground and give it a push it will not move for me...IE it will not coast
What am I not seeing?
What am I doing wrong?
is it just cold and stiff?
thanks for your help!

I've tried to pull it with my 4x4, would not move
