4 WD operationI

[sonny101]

Good to hear. An indicator light is helpfull to remind you its engaged. Guess it wouldnt hurt to see if thers a replaceable lamp or damaged wire. My 2010 dk45 has electronic 4x4 switch and dash light. My old JD870 had manual 4x4 but it also had a dash light.

None of the panel lamps on left side work even though one is specific for 4wd but as long as 4wd works thats okay. I ll look for why the panel lamps on left side are inoperative. Thanks again

I noticed none of the lamps work on the left side of the panel but as long as 4wd works, Im okay with it. Thanks

Hopefully your oil pressure indicator light, brake light, and anything else critical isn't in a dead section of dash panel.

Most machines will light all indicators when you first turn the key, and before rotating to "Start". Might be worth checking to see if anything important is not functioning.

Yeah I understand and will look further into this issue as I won't risk damage to a machine with only 100 hrs on it. I used to run Con Ed power plants before I retired and am fully aware of the consequence of ignoring subtle malfunctions in any system. Thanks .

You can do what I do.
Leave it in 2WD and go somewhere and get stuck. Put it in 4WD and if you are still stuck it is not working.

I added a 4 wheel drive indicator to my Yanmar SA425. It is in the Yanmar forum.

No lamps on my CK30 but the lever is on left side wall almost under my foot and has to be moved up or down. Beside it is a decal/painting indicating the position. Isn't yours similar?

Lift the front end up with loader

This should work. Or, you could drive in the tightest circle your steering allows, and try both positions of the 4WD lever. If 4WD is working, you should see some skidding and scuffing, and feel more drag on the engine. Anybody can use this method even if they don't have a FEL.

Not surprised the left doesn't work.

I have a new (i yr. old) Kioti CX 2510 HST tractor. When I move the 4wd lever down the indicator lamp on the inst. panel does not illuminate. How can I tell if its in 4wd and the lamp is the problem ? Thanks for reading.

Remove the lamp and test it?
