Hello all! Went to use my M yesterday and it seems one rear wheel is locked up. Thing that has me perplexed, is the brakes weren't set. So, I doubt it is a
stuck brake. Next thing I thought there is probably ice in the differential (from sitting outside). I know what happens when you try to force them so I let it
sit....
Thing that has me wondering is I just used the tractor a couple days ago. Drove fine. Also, it seems the frozen side is on the uphill slope (it is parked on a
small sidehill). Always thought the water would settle to the lowest point. It has been finger numbing cold here for at least a month, so I figured it would
have been frozen much earlier than just yesterday. I am going to throw a tarp over it this weekend, and light up a torpedo heater to let it cook all day and see
if I can't get it to move that way. If it does, I know what the issue is.
