Was going to buy a 533 from a friend today, it's been sitting for about a year.
We went to drive it onto the trailer, but the wheels would not move. Bucket operation is fine. Goes up, down, tilts etc...
Neither of us know much about fixing them, but if we can figure it out, that would be awesome as a technician would cost more than this things worth.
So, hydraulic fluid is proper levels and does not appear contaminated. At first, we thought the tires were frozen to the ground (They were) so we got a few buckets of hot water, and a jack and got them free. Still wouldn't move. Raised it up on blocks, wheels still wont turn. Tried turning the wheels physically by hand, couldn't get the to budge.
Ideas what to do next?
Thanks!
