W6 transmission woes

Friends - I'm working on my father-in-law's W6. Put new rubber on it, replaced rear axle seals and a whole host of other things. I went to put the rear wheels back on and was going to turn the wheel to line up the rim blocks with the slot on the hub and I couldn't get the dang thing to turn. Left side turned just fine in neutral and in gear. Right side didn't turn at all.

Now mind you, he just got this tractor and we knew it wasn't in the best shape but I had no idea it was driving essentially as a "one-wheel" drive tractor.

I'll pull the top off and take a peek in side. Do you think this means a new bull gear and axle on the right side? Can it possibly be stripped? I've never run into this before. Has anyone else?

As always, thanks for your advice and tips on how to best correct this problem.
 
brake not fully released? could be rust, broken spring, possibly adjustment to tight. checking this would be a whole lot easier and cheaper than starting by tearing into trans / dif.
 
was the other tire tuching the ground with the tras in gear or not becuse if they were then that is your problem
good luck :)
 
Minnimoman has it. both wheels must be airborn to move. Or if it has been sitting, one of the brake bands is frozen to the drun (easy fix.) Jim
