I've got a m923a2 8.3 I picked up from the auction a while back. The idler arm was disconnected, didnt think much of it. Replaced a leaking line, tried to bleed out. With the motor off (no pump) its easy to turn the wheels lock to lock. With the motor running, its almost impossible to turn the wheel. Does this typically indicate a problem with the gear box? Ive got a reman on the way already, just want to be sure Im not overlooking something that may be obvious to someone who has experienced this.
