Hello folks! I have a H that just today, the right rear axel locked up. I was in first gear moving forward, and suddenly it locked, I put it in reverse it moved about 10 feet than locked up again. It will roll in neutral fine, but in gear it locks up in any forward gears after 10-12 ft, will go into reverse and engage and roll backwards just about the same distance until it locks up? I don't see the brake linkage moving or lurching when it does lock up, but you can almost put a tape measure to how far it will go (in gear) in forward or reverse. I had just pulled a small car out for the scrapper to come pick it up from behind the chicken coop (about 200 yards) and I didn't hear anything abnormal, unhooked from the car and this started to happen. Could this be a broken bull gear? (Again didn't hear any noise) or a bearing? Looking for all you folks experience and input. I need the 'ol girl every week on my acreage daily. I did pull the diff plug, no water (serviced it all last fall) and she runs like a dream. Again, right axel locks up either direction after 10-12 feet. Any input, and all your great experience would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Thank you!
