B transmission troubles

Bought an 1948 Allis "B" the other day. The daughter and I tried to pull-start it this afternoon. When the clutch is released the rear wheels lock up tighter than a snare drum....I know the engine is free because it turns over with the starter. The pto/pulley engages and disengages ok too.

Am I going to have to replace the transmission? Or is there another possible issue??? Thanks in advance!
 
You (could) have the transmission in a reverse and forward gear at the same time. (If) that would be the problem it can be corrected by removing the side plate and making sure the forks are in the slide gear grooves. (If) that is the problem check the forks for being bent or just plain bad. (If) the forks are bad you can get on ebay quite often.

You say in your post that the wheels lock up when clutch is let out. If it rolls at all, whether in neutral or in gear with clutch pushed in, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION.
You also say that the starter will turn it over, but won't start. A B in tune will start on first or second half turn with the crank. Problem is that to check for vacuum leaks etc it has to be running.
Best way to pull start is in highest gear, 3rd on a B. Because it is light weight, it may slide. Try bumping the starter while pulling to get engine spnning.

You are correct if it is in two gears the wheels are locked up with the clutch in or out. My bad, I didn't read correctly. I can sometimes write readin but sometimes can't read writin.
