Stuck tracks???

Post by foxd » Tue Mar 19, 2013 5:10 pm

The engine on the crawler in question appears to be stuck. I don't know if the tracks are stuck. I need to move the crawler, but don't want to hurt anything by dragging it. Does anyone know of an easy/safe way to verify if the tracks are stuck on a crawler that does not run without damaging something? Thanks - Dave

With a stuck engine step in the clutch should disengage if the clutch facing isn't stuck..
Slowly slide it/role it to see if the tracks move.
Do this when temp is above freezing.
Slight pull back on the levers might free things too if those clutch packs aren't stuck.
Pull back too far and brake is applied.
