Towing Steps
In the event the Mudd-Ox needs towed long distances, the hydrostatic system must be freed from the wheels. Only
perform this operation on flat ground where the vehicle will not roll and cause harm to persons or property.
1. See Front Floorboard Removal and Lower Seats Removal under Accessing the Mudd-Ox to remove the lower
operator seat.
2. The front (2) chains need to be removed (C in Figure-3). There is (1) per side that connects the hydraulic motor
to the front two axles. See Removal under Chains to identify the master link.
A. If the master links are easily visible: Move to step #5.
B. If not: Continue to step #3.

3. In order to freely move the Mudd-Ox, you must release the brakes on the (2) inline hydraulic pumps. This is a
simple task. On the bottom of each pump there is (1) towing bolt, thus (2) total. Loosen them by turning 1 to 1-1/2
turns counterclockwise with a 14 mm wrench (Figure-4, 5).
4. The pump brakes should now be released, and the Mudd-Ox can freely spin in order to rotate the chains to make
the master links accessible. Note: In this stage, do not move the Mudd-Ox faster than 5 mph or further than 30’.
5. See Removal under Chains to remove the (2) front chains.
6. When the chains have been removed, reverse step #3.
7. Now the Mudd-Ox can be towed for longer distance up to 5 mph. Ensure parking brake is disengaged.
