Hi has anyone else had the 4WD fail on their DK501.
Mine failed when the ignition switch was bumped by my knee/leg and switched off the engine, although still in gear the Power take off disengaged and so did the 4WD.
I was gioing down a 45deg slope at ime and the tractor ran away at a terible speed - rand over the front bucket to stop it.
The 4WD has now been modified to be spring engaged not hydralic, and the ignition switch relocated.
Lucky to tell the tale - hope no one else has to go through this too
Regards all
Joe
