hi
Please help
I purcahced a Fourtrack 2.8 1997 recently. never used the 4 wheel drive option untill yesterday after getting stuck in a load of mud.
its in 2 wheel drive on free wheeling i changed this to the lock position and put into low 4x4 it seemed to just lock the front 2 wheels. After a 45 min struggle and 2 wheel drive i got it out but Obviously im doing this wrong, How the hell do i put it into 4 wheel drive is there a nack to this or is my 4x4 buggered!!!!!
Please help.

button on dash
have you pushed the 4h button on the dash
what transfer gearbox lever options do you have? if its electrically operated transfer box it will be a connection issue to the little servo in the box, try 4L. what hubs are fitted to the front wheels? in other words whats in the centre of the tyre rim?

i have a 4H button on the
i have a 4H button on the dash that doesnt seem to do anything when pressed. i have a gear shift from 2H to neutral then 4L and a standard gear leaver. Asfor the wheels there is a turnable lockin or free wheel in the center that you can turn by hand.
4 wheel drive
When you put it into 4w low while stationary,or put it in 4w High when moving slowly, does the green 4wheel selector light (looks like green H on the dash) come on.

Hi No it doesnt. There is no
Hi
No it doesnt. There is no indication that it want to go into 4wd just that the front wheels lock when you maually turn to lock.
right try this
lock the front hubs on the wheels, then move the gear lever to 4L, see if that works for 4wd cos if it does i can pretty much garauntee that its the solonoid in the box playing up for 4H

hi when i lock the front hubs
hi
when i lock the front hubs and select 4L the wheels seem to lock and will not move and not turn but the back one's are turning and just pushing the car????
so the front wheels seize?
if the front wheels totally lock and dont turn it could be a smashed differential in the front or transfer box issue, try jacking up one wheel on the front, put it all in lock on the wheels, neutral on gearstick and see if the wheel will spin, you should see the prop shaft turn to the transfer gearbox.

well tried my 4x4 again
well tried my 4x4 again locked the hubs and the wheels are turning now unsure why it locked up on previous occasions. so
locked the wheelhubs pushed the 4h on the dash drove forward slowly and nothing has happend also tried reversing nothing happens.
also tried
locking wheelhubs selecting 4L through the gear stick and going forward slowly nothing happens no light on the dash comes on it does nothing.
I did notice that when i turned the front drivers side hub to lock it made a clinking sound like a spring might of gone. after that it did not do it. So im still stuck in 2wd ... Boooooo
driving forwards wont tell you
you need to know that it really is in 4wd because with the transfer lever in 4L it probably was working, by locking the front hubs and jacking up a front wheel to spin it look to see if the prop shaft turns ( gearbox in neutral ) if front prop turns the diff etc probably fine, then put the vehicle in 4L and in gear then see if you can spin the front wheel, hopefully it wont turn for you, hey presto you HAVE 4wd
