4110 Stuck in 4WD?

[rkicklighter]

I have a "new to me", 2006 Mahindra 4110 with 850 hours on the clock. Although I grew up on a farm and was on a tractor by myself at age 6, it has been 30 years since I touched one. What we had growing up was older MF 135, Ford 5000 and 7500 plus a couple of AC 185XTs.

That said, I am trying to familiarize myself with the newer units which are quite a bit different.

It seems as though my 4110 is stuck in 4WD. I noticed this yesterday while clearing some small brush in soft dirt with the FEL, which was the first time I have actually put a load on the tractor. Pushing brush into a pile I saw the left front wheel start to spin. Huh, the selector was in 2WD so I stopped, throttled down and put it into 4WD. Moved around a bit with no load, then put back into 2WD. Same thing with a load. Did this several times all with the same result.

Haven't called the dealer yet since it's the weekend. Thought I would post and see if any of the experts has an opinion or something I can check. BTW, I have no problem working on anything mechanical or electrical.

Thanks in advance!

First, check the linkage from the lever to the side of the transmission. Make sure the shaft that is going into the side of the transmission is turning when you move the linkage.

Thanks, I'll try to get that checked today. I do know the linkage is attached and moving, just don't know if the shaft is turning.

Hey there; on my 4025 4WD the linkage wasn't adjusted right and didn't go out of 4WD- mine is a lever that goes up and down, so I readjusted a set collar for more travel (up and down), and then it worked.
