Traction TC45D 4WD issue

[Professor Marvel]

i can see the whole linkage from behind the tractor

It does. And when he had it opened he did it manually and it engaged whatever it was supposed to.

 

[Professor Marvel]

if it is moving up and down i guess you need to make sure the lever is also moving the shaft it is connected to that goes into the box

 

[Professor Marvel]

if it is moving the shaft i would have to say it is inside the box that the problem lies

 

[quepos]

I,m fairly sure he said it was but I'll have ask him if what hdid manually with the lever from inside was also necessarily being done when the box was closed

 

[Professor Marvel]

that is as far as i can see on my tractor
Let us know how it goes

 

[quepos]

The guy is a good mechanic, takes crs and stuff apart all the time for drag racing and demos. he said everything inside looked/seemed hunky dory.

I am going to try and see if the crankshaft is moving as the dealer suggested, I guess that's the proof in the pudding to separate a transfer box problem to something further toward the front wheels.

I really appreciate your time and knowledge.

 

[Professor Marvel]

that is a good idea
i would have thought if the driveshaft was engaged it would feel like it in the 2-4 lever but maybe not
good luck

My TC40DA (not supersteer) has a similar problem with 4-wheel drive selector, but my lever is "stuck" disengaged. It has been quite hard to engage the 4wd lever since I bought it second-hand, but just got to the point that the lever just won't move at all. I really miss the 4wd and I hope to get to check the linkages (external) next week when I get to the property where the tractor is. If I see anything on mine that may appear to be helpful for your issue, I'll try to post back as soon as I can -- but, I warn you in advance, it often takes me way longer to get back to the Forum than I would like. Best of luck to you.

MINE WAS THAT WAY TOO, IF YOU HAVE A BUCKET, LIFT THE FRONT END AND IT'LL SLIDE EASY- SOLVED MINE ANYWAY.
