Wheels stuck

Post by Kjetil »

I have a NP Super Major without engine.

When I try to move it, the rear wheels are locked.

I removed the brakes on one side, one wheel of the ground, made no difference.

Put the gear in free, no difference.

When i rotate the input axle on the front transmission, i can make the rear wheel rotating.

Any ideas?

There may be two gear, maybe the change is being recorded and a few millimeters are woven two gears at once, is only a guess of course, you should try to remove the cover and see the change.

I think you need to remove both side brakes.

if one brake was stuck on it should still move due to the differential, unless that was locked on also

Did you make sure that you took all of the discs off? If the last one is still on, and rusted to the housing, it still won't move.

I lifted off the cover on the rear end, and all of the sudden, the right hand wheel will now rotate.

When I rotated the wheel to check the hydraulic pump, it seems only to be water comming out.

We have had a long cold winter, so may be the big teeth wheel has been frozen.

Left hand is still locked, but I will open the brakes on that side as well.
