Pulling off JD 1530
low

Just tried to start my 1974 JD 1530 by pulling if off with my truck. Every time I tried to pop the clutch the tires locked. Is the engine locked up?

JD 1530 hydraulics question:
low

Hydraulic fluid level was getting low on my JD 1530 diesel. Very sluggish operation in the bitter cold here in MI and I use it to clear snow. Anyways, I topped it off today but overshot according to the dipstick. Seeking advice on the best way to bleed off a little before putting back into operation.
