During cold winter weather, one of the
rear wheels on my JD 2630 will lock up as if I
stepped on the brakes. It happens to one side or
the other, but not both at the same time. It only
happens during cold northern Minnesota weather -
20"s or below. The tractor is parked inside an
unheated, but insulated garage. When I back it
out, it"s fine, but after I drive for five minutes
or so (to move snow, etc) one of the rear wheels
will "lock up". After letting it sit for a while,
I"m able to nurse it back to the garage. If I run
the garage heater and warm it up before using it,
it does not happen. When it does lock up, I cannot
move the brake pedal, it seems to have pressure
pushing it into the "off" position. Any clues?
Thanks
