Hi all,
Ive owned this backhoe loader for a few years, its been a great work horse around the farm. I was out clearing some land, it was wet, muddy and cold out, and I engaged MFWD to help climb out of the mud. I turned it off, the indicator on the light went off, but I still had a very difficult time turning. I had the same thing happen once before when spreading millings on the road, it was a dry day but also just below freezing temps. That time I was able to get the front unlocked by shifting back into MFWD, and out. Not so lucky this time around.
I think when MFWD is engaged the front differential is locked and the issue I am having is that even after the MFWD is disengaged the diff is still locked.
I believe the lock is achieved hydraulically? Where should I start looking to fix or at least disable it?
thanks,
george
