If it is cold out I would try slowly opening the drain plug, chances are you might see a block of ice behind that plug. Brakes could lock it up too, or it could be in two gears at once.

How cold is it where you are?? Very likely to be water in the system than is now ice. slowly loosen up the drain plug but not to the point it comes out. You should get to a point you have fluid dripping. If you do not go ahead and take t out but be ready to put it back in fast. If you can take it all the way out and not have fluid poke your finger in and see if you hit cold solid ice

I don't think it would be a brake problem. More likely ice. Hal

Could be starter is locked with ringgear too, loosen bolts and see if it pops loose

No on the brake. One locked up brake will only hold up one side.

Either the tractor is stuck in two gears at once, or the water in the rear end has finally frozen solid.

is this on a running tractor or one that you are pulling?
