I've used mine a few times but with the 4wd engaged I tend to have enough traction. Do not use the lever if one of the tires is spinning fast push in the clutch and let it stop first.
PTO engaging. Mine will grind a little when I put it in. The clutch is a two stage clutch you must push it all the way flat with the floor to disengage the PTO. I find that after I push it all the way down that if I wait a little bit I can put it in with out grinding. There is a way to adjust the clutch in the owners manual. I'm going to sit down and see if I can get it adjusted a little better.
My front axle on one side leaks a tiny bit but not enough that I'm worried about it. edit: (my leak is down by the front tire where the vertical meets the horizontal. Mine does not leak at the center front pivot.) |
Thanks.
I have held the pedal down, but the
PTO keeps turning or grinds, whichever I am doing. I guess I will idle will low or just turn it off, hook up, turn it on.
As for the differential leak, is it easier to pull the front axle off to get into the diff? The drive shaft is connected and it appears it is just as easy to remove the front axle. Again, where do I fill the diff with SAE 80?
