Update on 4 wheel drive not working:

I finally had some time this afternoon to remove the tube cover on the front wheel drive driveshaft. The shaft will turn freely by finger tip with the four wheel drive disengaged, but when engaged it will not turn and I can hear the gears mesh in the transfer case. With the front axle grease leaking around the shaft adjoining the drive shaft, I am assuming that the bevel pinion shaft has broken in the front axle and the seal is torn allowing the grease to come past it. I am going to remove the front axle and take it to my dealer this weekend, for him to repair. I am glad it is in the front axle and the tractor will not have to be split to fix.
