i am not trying to belittle you but let me ask a dumb question. did you check the park brake? are there any safety interlock systems that stop the tractor if you fall out of the seat?

The park safety was the first thing I thought of because it acts exactly like it is on, but it is not and wasn't moved when it happened. The tracks freewheel when the engine is running. It's linkage is also in tact. Thanks for the mention though. The only dumb question is the one that didn't get asked, right?
I would take the back cover off the transmission and see if one of the clutch test ports has come out.
This will remain a mystery. Went back today with gauges, fired it up and dropped it into gear and it moves. Used it pretty hard for 2 hours without a hiccup. I like it when they fi themselves.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"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."
