    Does the engine turn by hand? If so you could remove the plugs and winch it on to the trailer? Probably easier to drop the half shafts out?

    I did muck about with levers but all are jammed, I'm going out over the Easter weekend to remove tail shafts, and hopefully tow it back onto clear flat ground, I can get it on a trailer then, what are the spanner sizes needed to remove tail shafts front and rear?

    If original 1/4 BSW 5/16 BS (About 13mm and a bit) and they must be fairly thin like a decent ring spanner or 3/8 drive socket. Someone might have replaced them with later UNF bolts and then they will have 9/16" (14mm) heads.

    Take some penetrating oil with you and start putting on all the pivot points of the handbrake, red lever and trans lever ball. Also use it on the tail shaft bolts and nuts.

    It is only necessary to undo the diff end and wire them up with some suitable wire.

    If they are the original bolts you will need 2 x 5/16 W ring open ended spanners, & if they have been changed either 9/16 AF or 14 mm . some of the bolts may have round heads & the head is tapered to clear the yokes so you will need a large screw driver to wedge in beside the bolt head so you can undo the nuts.
    Your main problem if it is stuck in gear & the brakes are seized will be turning the prop shaft so you can get at all the bolts & nuts . I would be trying to remove the floor so you can get to the gear change & transfer linkages & selector shafts & them give them a good spray of WD40 & see you can get them to move first. Just behind the gear leaver there is a hinged cover over the gear box oil filler & dip stick , you could spray the selector shafts through there & squat some oil in the top of the box to lube the shafts from the inside. Again if the brakes are seized you are going to have to loosen them off so you can move it.

    A word of warning don't to turn the motor over with the start motor i it is in gear or the motor is seized other wise you will brake the rubber drive in the bendex . They are not cheap & the starter is not easy to get on & off. Always try turning the motor with the crank handle first to make sure the motor will turn !
