Actually the two wires that come from the selenoid are black and they do not appear to have numbers on them. They are not red, purple or white like some of the other wires throughout the tractor. There is no black protective plastic around them. There may have been at one time. This is the original selenoid.

I will have to go out and crawl under the tractor and see what mine are. What did you find on fuse f-5??
Ok to follow up on this....It turns out that the little pins in the connector were not seating fully. This is the connector at the selenoid. When I was installing my front pto kit and had the rear wheel off, was able to really get at the connector and selenoid. I took the connector apart and after cleaning and reseating the little pins inside the connector the 4wd worked fine. Must have really gotten ripped by a branch or something.

It seems like that is a common problem, I should make sure all the wires are "high and tight" on mine!!

I just bought a 4310 and the first time I put the bucket down to scoop some rock I noticed the front tires turning under power, I had the MFWD in the off position. Thanks to this thread I was able to diagnose the problem quickly. I too found wires (pins) pulled slightly out of the connector (57M8214 FoUR-WAY, FEMALE), however pushing them back into the connector I did not hear a click or snap when they seated. I then took the connector apart by prying gently on the side of the purple lock. I found two of the locking tabs for the pins were broken and would not hold the pins in place. So, just over 5 dollars later at the JD dealer and I had a new connector. These connectors do not come with pins but I just snapped the old ones in place.
If you have had these wires pulled force-ably from a connector you may want to check this.
