John deer 870 series
I bought a HD 870 series tractor late 80's I m guessing. Clean tractor. Problem is the only way it will move is if I press the differential lock and only the rt wheel pulls. Shouldn't both wheels lick. And pull. Why won't the left wheel pull. Any suggestions. Thank you

Welcome to TBN

Meaning John Deere 870.
Sounds like an internal gear problem.

Been this way since purchase? Or know of an event that may have caused the issue?

I agree. It sounds like a problem within the differential. The tractors I've seen normally pull on the right wheel. The differential lock adds the left wheel.
