Farm Pro 2430 not moving

[detel]

Hello,
I have a Farm Pro 2430 that does not move regardless of what gear you have it in. High, low, 2 or 4 WD, it doesn't move. I lifted the front end off of the ground with the bucket and tried the 4WD to see if I could at least get the front wheels to spin but no luck. It almost feels like there is a brake stuck!?!? I am waiting on a new fuel line that has sprung a leak and as soon as I get that on, I will need some advice on what to do next. Clutch adjustment? Rear brakes seized? The tractor ran when it was parked 2 years ago but when we went to move it this year, no movement. Thank you in advance for your advice!

brake stuck??

I've yet to see a barke hold back a tractor.

that said, if it was a brake stuck, and you let out the clutch, the engine either stalls, or the wheels move.

so are you telling us the engine stalls since you think it is a stuck brake?

does the pto spin?

will the pto spin while you have it in gear trying to move?

is it a straight gear tranny or something mor ecomplicated like a shuttle shift or HST tranny?

 

[detel]

Thank you for your reply. Nothing happens when I let out the clutch. Yes, the PTO will engage and spin. I have High/Low 8 forward, 2 reverse.

If the pto spins, when clutch not pressed, in gear and not moving, I'd be checking the granny fill cap and see if you can see gears move in the granny, if yes, check pinion, ring gear, bolts, etc

Thanks! As soon as I get the fuel lines delivered and on, I will see if I can see the gears moving.

Check to make sure the High/ low lever is in one or the other,

Thank you Tommy. I checked both the High/low and the 4W/2W lever to make sure they were in engaged or at least in the position where they should be engaged. Once I got the tractor running to where I could check the drive, my fuel delivery line busted so I shut her down. I received my parts yesterday, hydro lines for the FEL which fit perfectly and the fuel line which does not fit. So now I am on a mission to see what the PSI is on the fuel injector pump. The line I received for my TY385I was to short. I tried to straighten the bends out on the line thinking that it would then fit, wrong! I am thinking that maybe I can cut the line and add flex hose to get the proper distance to each injector. I have not yet found the proper size line to fit my tractor. Thoughts?

 

[Soundguy]

If it is a line from the pump to an injector, they are high pressure lines. I would not union them.

Thanks for the advice, Soundguy! I was able to find the correct injector line from Circle G and ordered it today. Once I get this baby running, I will have to figure out why it won't move.
