Ah, it's welded on.

It's time to get a 30lb sledge hammer out.

Jed sounds like what we call brakes frozen. Loosen the star wheel and try moving the truck first forward and backward. You might try placing an old tire between the truck and tractor and chaining them up tight to keep from bending things. If it was cold and you can wait for a warmer day, keep that in mind too.

Does sound like a stuck brake. How long did it sit? Corrosion may have set in. Will the brake drum come off?
