I Backed the machine onto a trailer, rolled it off and backed it into my barn, but I can&#039;t remember if I tried the reverse gears or just used the goes backward in neutral mode.  The machine was stored while I dealt with several catastrophic illnesses in our family .  I bought three other newer (than 1965) , larger scrapers over the past 5 or 6 years to work/play with.  
     The 282 has only the rear tractor axle with tires mounted.  The nose juts out and the whole assembly is rotated from the goosneck by hydraulic cylinders opposing eachother behind the power unit at the front of the carry-all.  
    We were transporting the machine in roadgear and needed to turn at an intersection so mashing in the clutch so we could keep the engine at half throttle (to maintain volumn and pressure to the hydraulics which operate the steering via a front pulley driven pump) the machine coasted through the corner and upon letting out the clutch the motor stalled and the rig stopped.  Starting the machine (in neutral with the clutch mashed ) was simple, but upon releasing the clutch here we go backward!!!  So now its in the shop and I have removed the top covers and dra;ined everything and slid all the shifters and gears, ect and everything  moves.  To get into the tranny further I&#039;lll have to remove engine and Hydraul and drop the trans/rear end down out of scraper frame.
Our trans pressure gauge never showed oil pressure lubing trans , and it may be a idler siezed to one of the shafts.  I have blocked frame up holding wheels off floor and tried turning them to see which gear is not slipping, but don&#039;t know what should move and what should not turn.. This one and one more will make two for me!
