[AT] Stuck tranny JD Model B (Robert Holtzer)

[STEVE ALLEN]

Same here.  It took a little a lot of prying, a great deal of penetrant, and a little whacking, but everything loosened up.  I recommend getting at least one tire off the ground (both would be better) so that you can turn the wheels without moving the tractor as you are working on it.

If the tractor has been sitting for quite a while, there may be rust 
problem preventing gear movement.? Had this on my B.? At any rate, the 
top needs to come off.
