If the driveshaft is siezed up, and you push the hydro tractor, can that do damage to the hydro? Does the driveshaft have to spin as the tractor moves?

The driveshaft does not need to move when pushing the tractor.Just push it slow so the pump does not load up.

My 1256 doesn't have a valve,I don't think any tube frame came with one.

Maynard is correct there is no free wheeling valve on any of the tubeframe tractors.

That won't stop the pump from turning as it is being driven by the rear wheels at that point.It will however stop the extra drag of the engine on it and may push a tad easier,but push/pull it slow.

I hate trying to move the hydro tractors that don't have a release. Just go slow with it. You can feel them start to load up the pump if you are going to fast.
