the spray bar nozzles can be adjusted to spin the head clockwise or counter clockwise if the wheels run backward rotate the nozzles so the water pressure turns the head in the opposite direction which will then drive the wheels in the opposite direction..

They're no longer made. Try ebay.

First thing check plug screen. Water coming to sprinkler ok?

Make sure your spray arms are both pointed in the proper direction to assure forward movement. It will run backward if the spray arms are pointed in the wrong direction.

Thanks for letting me answer your question this evening ...

Well we start with it is made in china, what did you expect. The gears are worn out may be just junk or a nice lawn ornament now, but the service number for these is 800-458-0107 if you wan to see if they are willing to help you.

Are you sure you are "in gear"? I have beat mine to death ... but it still runs. The gears are pretty tough, but they are not invincible. It is possible you have a stripped gear. If necessary, get replacement parts at your hardware store.

The wheels are driven by the spinning of the water wand. Turning the tips so the wand spins either clockwise or counter clockwise will determine which direction your sprinkler will travel. If it's going backwards, turn the tips so the wand spins in the opposite direction it is spinning now.

Its direction of travel is dependent on which way the spray arm spins. Was the arm bent in someway that might make it spin the wrong direction? The arm nozzles are pointed the wrong direction. If there is an adjustment that's where you need to change its direction of travel.

Make sure you are holding the shaft that goes down into the tractor still. You may need a pipe wrench to hold it tight. If it is still stuck you may need to use something like PB blaster to loosen the joint. Gently heating the joint with a propane torch and letting it cool back down might break it free as well.
