I got my 8N stuck in the mud about a month and a half ago. In my efforts to get it out, I got it stuck in reverse and 2nd...
I cannot get the engine to turn backwards to remove the tension; I've tried using a screwdriver on the flywheel as well as a chain wrench on the front pulley. I tried getting another tractor's FEL to lift up the back end to 'tow' it out, but it doesn't have enough oomph to make it budge, I don't know anyone with a bigger tractor. It is down to the belly in the dirt, out in the middle of the pasture. Any other ideas on a way to unbind the transmission? Is there a way to uncouple the differential so I could just pull it out? Any other ideas (short of renting a draught)?
Thanks!
