Thanks for the suggestions. The sled is back home and thawing out before I take a closer look at it. In the end I was able to borrow an aluminum skimmer that fit under the track and the sled was towed out backwards. It worked well enough but with so many willows on this really overgrown trail...
yeah that's right. Track won't budge at all. Flipped it over and gave it a good look over. It truly is a mystery to me at this point. Why would the brake have locked up when the real problem is elsewhere?
