I finally purchased my grandfather's old 22. Now I have to get it home. The problem with that is that there is something stuck. It will not roll on the tracks. The tractor is in neutral because it will turn over on the hand crank. Could the brakes be stuck or the streering clutchs stuck? If so is there an easy way to correct it so it can be towed on its tracks and pushed into my garage?

Thanks, Peter

Sometimes the tracks get seized up from rust. Especially when sitting in the dirt for a long time. My 22 had rusted up tracks and I would go out every day and spray a little diesel fuel in the links with a weed sprayer. I would try pulling it around every week and it finally broke loose.

By the look of were it sits it might be the tracks or the brake bands might be stuck I had that problem on a D2. Take a hammer and see if the tracks move up and down between the idler and the sprocket, that might let you see if they are stuck.

Try hooking a chain to the top of the track just in front of the drive sproket and pulling on one side at a time.

Testimonials

"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."
