: The tractor will not go forward unless the differential is put in locked position. Applying the right break will not stop the forward motion of that wheel. Seems like an axle is busted to me, here is what happened.
: My brother in law was bush hogging when he ran into a stump about 18 inches high, it cleared the front end and jammed the break lever in. The more the tractor pushed forward the harder the cylinder was jammed. When he discovered what had happened he had to get a chain saw and cut the stump off even so he could drive away. The tractor wouldn't move even witht he breaks off. He locked the differential and it got forward motion. What do you guys think might have happened?
: If this is a Dubuque Built John Deere utility tractor, it sounds like it may have broken the pinion shaft between the differetial and the final drive, If that isn't your problem it probably lies within the differintial itself. To determine which axel to remove, jack up and block both rear wheels off the ground, run tractor with differential lock engaged and see which axel doesn't turn and that is the one in which will reveal your prolem when you remove it.
