I needed to grade some snow and ice off the drive before we get hit with a big one today and tomorrow. I started up the 1650 diesel just fine. When I started to move it, right rear wheel did not want to turn. I shifted to reverse and barely rocked it, then back in first and eased out the clutch a little. Somewhere in the right side, I heard a pop or light "clunk", not real loud, and things worked fine after that. I rebuilt the brakes early in 2013. It had been sitting outside for 2 days with a tarp over the operator station.
Does it sound like the brake was stuck or some ice in the right side of the transmission? Is there a way to drain the right side bull gear area without dumping the entire transmission? It is cold and getting colder, as well as calling for freezing rain and 16" of snow.
