Hello,
In the last few weeks the weather went from mild to completely freezing. During the mild spell, I got my JD 1986 2140 tractor stuck on my property in some mud. Now things are completely frozen solid, and when I shift into gear (any of them) the tires will not budget. This is a RWD and the tractor is stuck up to just under the PTO.
I can see that the PTO works, and it will turn. So the drive shaft is working to the rear axel. However the back of the tractor is bottomed out. What scares me most is that when I put the tractor into gear (lock/unlock differential) and shift gears, etc. the tires do not move at all.
So I took my 220K BTU outdoor diesel heater and warmed up the back of the tractor, and was able to tilt the tractor up/down with the bucket, raising and lowering the front wheels.
So the bottom of the tractor is not stuck in the ice... I am thinking it is just either the very bottom of the rear tires frozen into the ground or something is broken in my rear axel of my tires?
Any ideas much appreciated, would prefer not to wait until the spring.
