Ref :- no 4 wheel drive

Forum: 

got the fourtrack back from the garage he said they have replaced worn parts in gearbox ie sliprings on second and third and relaced a bearing I payed for a comp clutch while the box was off so only paid for parts and they said they sorted the freewheel hubs is there a quick way of testing the freewheel hubs Unknw

jack the front end up and turn the wheels by hand - if the hubs are locked the oposite wheel will rotate the opposite way i think. if the hubs are not locked just the wheel your holding will turn

jack front wheel up, in 'freewheel mode' the wheel should turn and the driveshaft behind will stay still...if the hub is locked on, the driveshaft should turn you'll also see the front propshaft turning

no 4 wheel drive

thanks guys just jacked it up selected 4 wheel drive and only 1 wheel is turning and the prop does not move started the engine and select drive again and still the same looks like they are not working

...from my own experience and a few other comments from this forum, the auto hubs are prone to falling apart internally and failing. i think a lot of 4traks with this system that have only been used on road will have the same issue. make sure you go somewhere to engage 4wd once a month or more frequently to keep things working.

i ended up ditching my auto hubs and got manual jobbies from milner, now they work a treat. it's a fairly straightforward procedure if you're not too bad with a spanner! Wink
