It may have locked up because of lack of fluid in the diffy, a chipped tooth on a gear that locked the gears bad hub bearings no grease in them also either way it should be opened up and inspected there are many many things that can lock up a empty mixer.

You may have PC in the diffy if your recipe has had cement in it most likely your going to have to take the diffy apart and clean it out .We have had to do that few times in the last 10 years.

Tow mixers have a tendency to leak water into the differential, and that emulsifies with the oil inside. You can get rust on the gears and bearings.
You can flip it over and remove the cover from the differential to see what's going on inside. You might be able to carefully apply leverage to the gears and break it loose but remember that those gears are really hard steel and fairly brittle because of that, so don't bang on them!

My tow mixer is several years old and I haven't used it in a couple of years, I went to use it the other day and the blade will not turn, the mixer will not move forward. Any ideas on how to loosen it all up? There is some rust, I don't know if that's the whole reason or what. I've sprayed it with WD40'w rust dissolver and smacked the blade a few times with a hammer to try to knock it loose but nothing so far. I'm hoping I don't have to replace the axle, really hoping! Anyone else have this happen?
