Rear wheels spinning

[oldnslo]

How many hours on that tractor? Reason for asking is that the original front axle assembly on my Branson was assembled wrong at the factory and one tire would randomly lock up after around 30 hours on the clock. The problem was the input shaft bearing had excessive preload and ground itself up allowing input shaft to randomly caulk and bind on the spider gears. I believe dealer finally found that problem by removing the cover over the input shaft and oil ran out.

Thanks Williy, being a fisherman here in Nova Scotia, I should have thought of that

Oldnslo , I think your on the right track,it seems to be randomly binding up. I'll have to get into the front axle and see what's causing it. Thanks.
