Gene - Thank you for taking the time to respond to my problem. Here is the current status. A previous poster, Harold Hubbard, suggested I might have broken an axle. He suggested I start it, put it in gear and push on each of the brakes separately. If she moves or tries to move, he suggested, I had a broken axle and it would be the side I was using the brake on. Following his advice I was able to get her out of the field by applying heavily on the right wheel brake, although I seemed to be getting a lot of noise (clanging) from the left axle.

Although I was doing some heavy brush-hogging at the time, I wasn't overworking the drive wheels. Using Harolds method I seemed to have all 4 forward gears plus reverse, though not a lot of drive power. The pto seems to be working fine.

Next move is to get her into town where I can work on her. On the farm there is too much theft, sad to say. I would appreciate your comments on how things stand now and how best to proceed. If it is a broken axle would you know of a source for a replacement? Is it likely the damaged axle, if it is that, can be repaired or is that a waste of time & money?

Thank you again for taking the time to respond. Your further comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

This is a great forum. More how the internet should be used than other things I've seen on it.
