Good Morning ,
I just bought a JD Crawler 1010. It won't walk. What should I do to get it moving?

hi paul , he said its not walking, how can it run before it walks,, it must first crawl,haha(someone had to bite on this)
ok enough of that nonsense.
this almost looks like a spoof posting.
but if the guy is for real,,, i would say the tracks are full of sand and rusted tight,,, so get the blade off the ground, put it in neutral, rock it back and forth until it all loosens up,

pop pop you're in good form today
It's nice to see a sense of humor.
Following your thinking, if it's that the tracks are bound up, a pressure washing of the undercarriage will force some water into the pins and bushing making your suggestion even more effective. I'd want to be careful not to be too aggressive while trying to loosen them up this way because of the strain on the final drives and the extra work and costs associated if something breaks. I'd be inclined to loosen and remove the tracks and use the soaking (in water) and sledge method of loosening each pin then re-install the tracks - this might be a good time to check other parts of the undercarriage (rolls, idlers, sprockets etc.) too.
