Well we brought the 880 home today and found out that its stuck...however we think that we can easily break it loose. Any ideas on how to do that? We also got the spare parts for the tractor and picker...an M&W Super Snoot, New Idea grill snoot (I think), side shields for the motor, and extra paddles for the elevator...all this and a 1958 Oliver 880 gas and 305/307 picker....do you think we got a good deal?
If you can hook a chain to it, put it in gear and pull it. The ole girls don't weigh enough to hurt themselves, usually will just slide the tires instead.
I have heard puting brake fluid in the cylinders works. Haven't gotten a chance to see if that is true or not. Probably worth a try if this doesn't work. Good luck.
