TC 40D HST 4WD Front Pinion Shaft

[Qapla]

Seems we need to replace the front pinion shaft for the 4wd. Ours is stripped where the drive shaft collar slides on.

The front wheels/axle seem to work just fine in 2wd.

We are hoping that there is no damage inside the front differential - it has been suggested that the shaft stripped from using the tractor on pavement with the fwd engaged. Does this sound right?

That's one of the primary causes.

No grease is another
