Got stuck the other day installing a culvert(NO, i didn't take any pictures ON PURPOSE!:eek: ). Anyway, the rears would both spin w/dif lock on, & the LF spun, but the RF never spun. I got out by looping a chain around a tree, then around the bucket at full extension then "curling".
Later, while scooping up dirt to cover the tile, i noticed the RF spinning. So, why no spin when i really needed it?

Sounds like an open diff up front. In fact, I think, Rick told me the front was open.

I have a CK20 and have had the front differential apart and mine is NOT limited slip.

Yeah, the front differential is open. Can you imageine trying to turn that tightly with a locked front diff? :eek:

Open, as stated, turning with a full bucket would be end of front end. That wheel just happened to be the light wheel each time. Push up against a tree in low, I bet you'll see other tire spin depending on how loaded.
