Old John Deere 1032 snowblower

The wheels are not freewheeling. I loosened the big wing nut to free them and they are still locked. Is there something broke or has rust locked them. I use it as is, but it's hard for this old man to turn it. Thinking it would cost more then it's worth to have fixed. Any ideas?

Yah, I think rust is the problem. Looks like a lot of work to fix. Other than that it runs and looks good. Think i can get $450 as is? I'm moving into a condo next summer. |

And thanks for the photos. I'm sure mine is like that. I bought it used and never noticed the problem. My main blower is a 1974 JD526, i put a kawasaki 6.5HP on it. Lots of torque.

My 826 came with the same problem. It took alot of penetrating oil and muscle to remove the outer/inner shafts apart. Lots of diesel fuel to clean up the gears and lots of freash grease on the shafts; now works as intended.
