I had parked my tractor at the garage and set the parking brake lever. When I went to use the tractor next, I released the brake lever and noticed that it felt "light". I started to move the tractor and then had the left wheel lock. it is obviously stuck on and the movement/friction caused the brakes to bind and lock the wheel.
the brakes worked perfect all summer, so I think it is maybe condensation that has frozen in the cold weather.
the question I have is, how to free up the brake??
the brakes are hydraulic and appear to be in the axle housing...
just wanting to know if anyone has had a similar experience and how to fix it..
can I heat up the housing with a torch??
thanks
