Pull the bolts from the sprockets.... is one way. as long as you don't need to pull it too far...put some oil on the hub if you're moving it more than 50 feet.

IIRC, the 170B was a Poclain machine with solid sprockets on a taper spline shaft that was direct drive from a radial piston motor, cant remember if they had spring brakes or not. (been a while) Doubt this helps but might jog somebody's memory.

I think you might be right. not real sure from the looks of them... looks like allen head bolts on the sprockets.

That's probably newer than what I was thinking. looks planetary to me. Had to move a dead 9030 once and just dumped all the planetary parts.

No need to remove all the planetary parts, just the pinion shaft in the center that couples the motor to the planetary gears, then pop the cover back on to drag the machine.

On the 9030, we were in a bit of a hurry to get out of the rising water.
