Rear wheels binding

[Fireman984]

Hello everyone,
I have what I think is a fx265d. It was working fine until after I loaded and unloaded from the trailer. I bumped the drive while the front was chained and spun the wheels backwards a bit.
Now when I move the back wheels feel like they are binding like i slipped or spun something.
Any recommendations on what to check?
New to tractors.

Thanks a bunch

Welcome to TBN,,

If you have the shifter in four wheel drive, shift it into two wheel drive, and see if the issue goes away.
You might have to drive back, or forth a ways to get it out of four wheel drive,,,

2wd did not help. Kinda feels like I twisted off something.

Might try jacking rear end up and roll tires by and and also with clutch for trouble shooting.

Fireman, so far we don't have enough info. It could be as simple as a bound up brake or broken front drive shaft....or as complex as a problem with the differential.

One way I used to evaluate rear axles and differentials was to put the transmission in neutral and jack the both rears off the ground nice and level. Now rotate first one tire and then the other by hand slowly. That should cause the other wheel to move in the opposite direction. Now set the brakes on one wheel and rotate the other. This will take more effort. Are they the same? Try it the other way. Do you hear any weird noises?

Now use the hook that holds down or disengages the clutch pedal and try the moves above while you have it in gear with the clutch disengaged. Try all the gears. Does putting it in any gear make any difference?

The next step is to sit down with an exploded view of the drive train - or ask here on TBN - and see if what you are feeling from those tests makes mechanical sense.

I'll post a link to a video.
Tomorrow I'll get the whole thing in the air.

heck your brake rods looks like you may have bent them loading and unloading tractor ..

 

[Fireman984]

This looks a little different than the other brake setups.

fireman984, your video is not loading.

 

[Fireman984]

Not sure why. It still loads for my device.

 

[winston1]

Video comes through for me. Is that noise out at the wheel area or more toward the transmission?

 

[YanmarFever]

Ring & pinion or a spider gear is missing a tooth is my guess...

 

[Fireman984]

Sounds like more towards the center of the tractor.

 

[winston1]

tractorErnie may have hit it if it sounds toward the middle.

Anyone know where I can get the parts to fix it if it's the r & p?

I have been out of the Tractor business for many years now. I would try hoyetractor.com or Leanord sheaffer at Shaffer town and country tractors in Ill.
We repaired 5 or 6 ring & pinion F- FX models back in the day, and they all did the same thing as your video.
One day I was delivering a Mahindra tractor out in the boonies when I spotted a Yanmar FX24-D in the overgrown blackberry bushes behind a barn.
I bought it for $800.00 and it did the same thing as yours, the clunking sound when you drive it, It became a parts tractor for us.
I wish you were closer I could help you wrench it, however I haven't wrenched a yanmar since 2012, and we sold everything that was Yanmar to Hoye tractor.
You can pull the upper rear housing off the tractor real easily and look down in the gears and see what the damage is, have a bright flashlight on hand, and drain the hyd fluid also.
If you repair it, be sure to run a magnet all thru the bottom or look real good for broken gear teeth.
Good Luck..

From what I can find that R&P gear only fits the FX265 and the FX30. Unfortunately neither are super common and I have not parted out either one.

FX30 ? Now there's one I never saw.
The 265 is a nice size Yanmar, lots more room for the legs and seat.

Ernie, does that sound like enough stress to tear teeth out of the R&P?

Is this a common problem for the FX generation?

I wonder if Fireman was sold a tractor that had broken teeth glued back temporarily with JB Weld or something. I don't see how a trailer deck could give enough traction to destroy that.
