oliver2-44 11,490 #2 Posted Thursday at 03:05 PM Check you idler pulley to make sure it has belt tight and the transmission drive pulley, maybe it lost its key. Also check that your axles are tight to the hub and not rotating while the hub stays still. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does teh motion control seem to move OK (Linkages on Ds are a night mare. Also make sure tow valve is tightly closed.

pfrederi 20,585 #6 Posted Thursday at 03:41 PM (edited) paint a line across the hub and axle on each side then after you try to move make sure they haven't shifted. D series have very hefty axle key but they can shear. Does the engine labor at all when yo try to move??? Edited Thursday at 03:42 PM by pfrederi 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve never worked on anything, mechanically speaking.. but I got no way to haul it and friends and not dependable as they once were.. so dumb it down for me please and thanks..words can’t express my gratitude for each and every reply to my topic… how do I inspect something if I don’t kno what I’m lookin at……lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 20,585 #11 Posted 5 hours ago There are no idler pulleys First question Did the 3 pt hitch or mid mount operate while you had it running? If they did work next question Can you push the tractor with tow valve closed...Yes or no? After you answer these 2 questions we can proceed with diagnosis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
