D-17 Stuck

[NJM]

Few weeks ago I thought my motor on my D-17 was seized, but after putting oil to it and finally pulled the tractor I found that what I believe is the clutch is seized. Can that be the case? I put the tractor in gear and the wheels lock. When I ingauge the clutch nothing happens the wheel still won't turn. Thanks for any imput...

Starter maybe locked up on the ring gear. By the way you should NEVER try to pull a tractor to get it to turn over or you can/will brake parts in the engine and or tranny. I would pull the starter off and then see if the engine will turn. You can turn the engine with the fan belt or a pry bar at the flywheel. Pull the plugs out because that will make it turn easier. Also by pulling the starter you can get a look at the clutch

Thanks .... Forgive Me

I don't know how the "clutch" per se could lock.

Can you turn the engine over by hand with it out of gear??

Is it getting into two gears at the same time, shifter problem.

Doesn't matter if its in gear or out - the motor still won't move. I was just thinking about the clutch when we "gently" pulled the tractor the clutch did nothing when I tried to use it. The tractor was in gear and when I ingauged the clutch the tires wouldn't turn at all. Maybe I have a stuck motor and a clutch issue also. Sorry I've never had this before and without taking things apart I thought I could figure it out....

I think the trasnmission is good... It goes into one gear at a time. I just might be dealing with a stuck motor?
