[AT] 39 farmall H

[charlie hill]

Ron you are thinking the same as me.   Bruce, jack up one rear wheel if you 
can do it easily.   Put the tractor in high gear and rock the tire back and 
forth as vigorously as you can.  Listen for something to pop loose.  If you 
can't put it in 4th try rocking it in neutral.  If it's truly in neutral you 
should be able to turn the rear wheel.
