I am not a tractor fan or mechanic. I have a 1947 M and was backing up and turning (too sharply as it turns out) in soft dirt. When I started to go forward, my front wheels pushed in the dirt and locked perpendicular to my line of travel. I could not go back or forth. No problem, I thought, I'll just lift the front end up with the bucket, turn the wheels straight and take off. That did not work. As you can see from the photos, the left wheel seems more perpendicular than the right, but not a lot. I can't turn them with the steering wheel.
QUESTIONS: Please look closely at all the photos. Does anything look broken or bent? Can I "pull" that situation out and straight with a wrecking bar or truck or something, or should I call in a pro to fix this? Thanks for any help you might be.
P.S. I use it to level and smooth gravel roads with a box blade on the back.
