Sorry, I missed your reply to the previous post. No, have the lever to left of seat in down position. I was with the understanding that this lever was somesort of override or "lock in" lever. If I understand your reply, its OK to have this lever in the pulled up position during normal operation to allow the automatic operation of the FWD? Also by having lever pulled up and level on right console in forward position this engages full-time FWD? Thanks for replying.wrenchguy said:Hi,I answered your other post. After reading this post again though,I have to ask. Do you have the lever to the left of the seat pulled up at all times? The auto/full time lever only works if the lever beside the seat is pulled up. The auto/full time lever doesn't engage the 4wd. It only overrides the 4wd clutch when moved to the forward position causing the front tires to pull while turning. It really has no effect on 4wd in straight ahead movement of the tractor.
The lever beside the seat is the lever that engages 4wd. If it is pushed down you are in 2wd. It must be pulled up for 4wd to function in any instance.
The auto lever on your pod top is used to override the 4wd clutch for the front axle. The clutch for the front axle will disengage 4wd when turning if the lever is in the "auto" position. If you need 4wd while turning you must move the lever to the forward position.
