There’s not a lot of other options for towing. Neutral is all you have to let it roll forward without power.

Good luck, I hope it goes smoothly.

the brakes work now. i heard a noise as i was pulling it across the yard and decided to check the brakes and found someone tried to steal my brand new brake pads i found them on top of the leaf spring and the springs that hold the calipers was missing and a few of the lug bolts were rusty and stretched, that's all fixed now..
