How do you get it to free wheel? when you have to move from place to place
ANSWER : That’s tricky… some of the small TB will not free wheel and either have to be “drug” from place to place or start up and drive it. Some allow to freewheel by pulling the pins on the wheel hubs, pushing the wheels “in” and reinstalling the pin. This allows the hub to “freewheel” on the axle and the pin just keeps the wheel from falling off. Hope this helps.
