Default trx70 stuck

i just got back from christmas vacation i was away for about a month and 2 weeks well anyways i went to start up my bikes up and my little trx70 will turn on but the rear wheels are stuck they will rotate about 1/8 of a turn and stop. i turned the bike on and put it in to gear and tried to move but it will not move i checked the brake to make sure the problem wasnt the breaks but no luck what could be causing this.

Must be in the axle bearings. I don't know what the carrier and awingarm look like on the 70, though. Is it chain driven?

Pop the chain off 1st and see if its the bearings or not.

That would be my first suggestion, also. See if its the axle, or the trannie.

a rusted chain, that's funny. spray it with a little WD40 or should he take it off?

drum brake or axle bearing would be my guess, probably the drum. sometimes the spring that holds the shoes together breaks. getting the drum off can be a mother if this is the problem.

NICE GN, is that crankshaft or rear wheel HP?

The brake drum on the 70's are not sealed. One of the linings came off the brake shoe and is wraped under the other shoe. That happens alot to the 70's.
