1999 Case 1845C right side won't move!

[Thechap]

I have a 1999 Case 1845C. I used it about a month ago to move some heavy snow. It worked perfect. After using it I put it back into an unheated garage. Well, today I went to get it ready for an upcoming storm and it started fine. After letting it warm up I went to back it out of the garage and the right side won't move. You can hear and feel the right side trying to move. The left side is fine. Any suggestions as I am going to need this thing tomorrow. Thanks, Bryan

Sounds like maybe the parking brake is engaged, check the cables. If that is not the case, try jacking up the end that doesn't move and see if moving one tire moves the other one. This will help determine if there is another problem in the chain case.

Just started working and everything is fine!

Just saw your post, and had the same thing a few years ago. Turns out the fluid was badly contaminated in the chain drive, and was freezing up. I drained it, flushed with diesel and re-filled, everything was back to normal. Good luck.
