    JD 4450 MFWD problem

    I think You guys had it figured out from the beginning. "Sounds like it's stuck in FWD". Sure enough, didn't have to chain to tree because had all four tires rollin away as I pulled drill through some soupy spots. I do apologize for being fairly convinced I was in 2WD. To be honest, I have a...

    JD 4450 MFWD problem

    Sorry it's been a while. No update. Been planting beans and looks like wet weather on the way so not much time to tinker. Have decided to chain tractor to a tree in a wet spot to settle once and for all whether fwd is working as it should (or at all). May be a few days though. Thanks to you...

    JD 4450 MFWD problem

    Thanks Jim. If I plant soon, shouldn't need fwd. better yet, it's stuck in fwd which will be an easier fix I'd guess. Had it in a little mud but still couldn't tell if fwd was doing anything. Nothing was hitched to tractor though. May have to hook a ripper up or something to bog it down. As...

    Thanks MSM. I haven't had time to jack up the tractor and try Bobs suggestion yet. That should start me in the right direction. I've lost gears on other equipment before but it was always while running the machine (probably harder than I should have been). Since this issue seemed to come up...

    JD 4450 MFWD problem

    Thank you Bob. Wish I had your logical thinking! Guessing that means there's enough slip in front differential where I only need to lift the one front tire. As far as I could tell, the failure occurred while tractor set up for several months as it seemed to work fine when last used.. This...

    JD 4450 MFWD problem

    The MFD is not working on my '83 JD 4450 PS tran. My understanding is that the MFD system on this series is a "powered off" system. I.e. The MFD engages when power is removed from the MFD solenoid. The light does come on in the switch and I have also tried removing power from the MFD solenoid...
