Thanks for posting the video of it moving.
In my opinion, it would have been better to have some video of it moving at standard speed, the high speed takes away the ability to watch the tracks, idler, sprocket.
One thing you might try, not that it is the standard procedure. Steering Frictions are multi-disc clutches. Pull both levers fully back, holding them back, you can use your foot to push the master clutch lever forward (disengaged) and see if you can shift. In an emergency situation, pulling both frictions and standing on the brakes ,you can stop and then take out of gear.

Helen(Mrs. seiscat) and I had a good time Wednesday. We enjoyed meeting Scott and Will. The weather was very nice indeed.
The photos don't depict the severity of the slope the D7D was parked on. I have to use a Rollator(wheeled walker) on anything other than level surfaces. Navigating the left side of the tractor was difficult for me. The slope on the right side was so steep that when I stopped beside the front idler the Rollator would skid forward with the brakes locked if I wasn't holding it!
Will held in place for me while I pointed out the unfortunate high position of the right idler. The only reason the D7D didn't free-wheel down the slope was the right track was against a hump of dirt that prevented it. The worn out and very loose tracks, the high position of the right idler and the slope exasperated the "up on her toes" position of the roller frames which lifted the sprockets.
The videos give a better view of the slope if you notice how much the vertical shapes are tilted.

Glad to see you and the "boss" get out and enjoy some fresh air and the sweet smell of diesel fumes. You are a genuine asset to the hobby by helping so much! Thanks again to everyone involved in that mission. Can't wait to see more progress. JM

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
