JD 4410 Left Rear Wheel Locked

[meangreanmashean]

After I let it warm up drove it over to unload trailer and had to get out of seat so I shifted to neutral and set the parking brake. When I got back behind the wheel, I released parking brake, put it in gear, eased out on the clutch and it loaded up as if the parking brake were still engaged, but only on the left rear. I eventually jacked up the rear end, started the engine and the right rear tire would spin freely. The left felt as if it were "in gear" because it would move a bit back and forth. I'm thinking if it were a brake issue, it probably wouldn't have moved as much, or at all. Differential lock lever is disengaged. Shifted in and out of range and gears like it should. I'm scratching my head on this one. Any ideas.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Crawl under and check if the brake rods and levers are in the same approximate place.
** Since everything is in neutral and brakes unlocked, BLOCK the Wheels.
Sure you knew that just reminder.

I'll double check the brakes, levers, etc. Might have missed something yesterday. I'm also going to check for moisture in the hydraulic oil as I found a similar thread after I posted mine. I don't know how long since the hydraulic oil was changed or if it was even changed at all. Thanks for the response, Jerry.

The brake rod is sticking where it goes in the the rear axle housing, not letting the rod release. Use some lube on the rod and a pry bar at the pivot for the brake pedal and it will work free. Look at the springs at the pedal to see if the spring is broken. Less common but still possible.
