Recently bought a 1953 DC and thought the brakes were froze keeping it from rolling. A real problem to load! Got it home and took the brake drums and disc loose. Same ole problem. Transmission seems to be in neutral, will shift into some of the gears but not into reverse or first. Belt pulley will not turn when transmission is in neutral. If it is hung in a gear, how do I get it out?? I need to get this thing off my trailer, but don"t want drag it anymore. Might really tear something up. HEEEEELP!!

By any chance is the temperature below freezing? My DC literally had a frozen transmission when I tried to tow it into the barn to work on it. The air temperature was in the teens, but the ground was soft enough that we didn't have the drag it. We pulled the drain plug, put a huge pan under it, and waited for warmer weather. Eventually 30 gallons of sludge and water dripped out. It rolled fine after that. Apparently the previous owner filled the transmission case as part of their long term storage plans.

Haven't checked the transmission level. 16 degrees when I loaded and had been cold for days. Since I've had it home it's been in the 30s and 40s but maybe not long enough for it to thaw. I'll pull the plug and find out. Haven't had the shifter out, but I'll try that too if I need to. Hope one of these will fix it. The guy I bought it from said it rolled when he bought it. Thanks for the suggestions! Any other thoughts will be helpful.

I had that happen to my 51 when I was doing some dirt moving work. I think I took off the shifter and pivot housing and looked in the top of the transmission and got a large screwdriver and lined up the shift rails and put the top back on.
It has worked since then.
