So I was dragging a stump across my property which was at the limit of the Super C's pulling capacity / traction and the wheels where slipping alternatively left and right. Eventually got where I needed to go but now when I push the left brake I hear an awful noise out of (or near) the right axle housing or right brake. I have read here that a broken axle is indicated by no movement until the break is pushed on the side with the broken axle but what I have is obviously different.
If I don't have the left brake on the tractor seems to run completely normally with no odd behavior or noise. When I press on the left brake though the right wheel is obviously the drive wheel and makes the noise. The axle does turn though and it is hard to tell but I think it is turning at the normal rate.
In my head I was wondering if the axle is broken but that the way it is broken it will still drive the wheels (perhaps through the jagget ends of the broken axle?).
At this point am looking for advise on what other tests / actions I can take to diagnose the problem before tearing things appart. Then if there is a priority order in taking things apart.
I believe Super C is a 1952 model (based on serial number of 179411).
