A-90 - Got It Started, But It Won't Move (4-speed)

[joskuk 67]

I have had an A-90 sitting in the back of my garage for years now, decided to try and get it running today. Had to replace leaky fuel line and swap a battery in from a dead tractor. I got it running but tried to drive it and it does not move.

 

This is a 4-speed, and I can see the input pulley of the transmission spinning. But when I start to release the clutch it makes a strange noise in the back (not quite grinding, but similar). I figure it has to be something internal but you guys know better than me.

           Could be the key on one of the hubs or the input pulley has sheared. Do you have any background on it, why was it parked there all this time?

I'll take a look at the axle keys and let you guys know.

 

As far as background goes, my dad purchased it for very cheap probably 5-6 years ago. It sat in his shed for a year or two (probably because it would not move) and then he gave it to me for free. I have been meaning to look at it and get it working, but I kept putting it off. With my recent purchase of a 416-8, it really motivated me to get this horse running too.

 

If you want any more info/pics, let me know.

           Use a magic marker and put a line on the end of each axle and hub and on the input pulley and shaft. start it up, put it in gear and let the clutch out for a second then check all three to see if one has moved.
