rustyoldjunk 127 #26 Posted February 12, 2008 perry i hope the personal emergancy worked out ok.i agree theres a good chance the rearend is full of frozen water.a friend and i hauled one in several years ago,a model 653,if i remember correctly.it was below freezing weather,the rearend was locked,i was worried but my buddy with more experience at the time said its probably full of ice.....he was right.i was amazed.i haul in a lot of brands and have never seen it in anything but a wheel horse.thats a good looking old horse perry,hope it turns out to be a good one for you.
