Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control
in "transmission disengaged" position. Pull freewheel
control out and into the slot and release so it is held in
the disengaged position.

push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then the
brake needs to be serviced. Contact a qualified service center.
