The range selector, at the bottom of the handle has a round bushing where the 4WD lever connects. It needs to be well greased. The very best thing you can do is to remove the seat, and disconnect that range lever, fill that bushing with a good bearing or axle grease and put it back together. It's not really difficult, and it will ensure many more hours without a problem
Took about an hour all together.
By the way, I also used a can of delayed viscosity lithium grease and sprayed it onto all the rest of the linkage just to make sure that it's all good and lubricated. That also helps to reduce any rusting of the linkage.

KJ You are a wealth of information. I am going to follow your suggestion as well. Glad the sticky linkage is fixed.
