    4210 "Locked" Rear Wheel/Diff, No Apparent Neutral

    It was a stuck brake shaft on the right rear. Some PB Blaster, the butt end of a 5lb sledge, and an assistant on the tractor did the trick. Took turns hitting the brake, and hitting the bellcrank to release the brake. Lubed it up and it seems to be ok now. Still wondering why the pinion...

    4210 "Locked" Rear Wheel/Diff, No Apparent Neutral

    4210 "Locked" Rear Wheel/Diff, No Apparent Neutral

    That brake issue might just be what's going on. I took a closer look at it and noticed that the right brake really doesn't have much effort to fully depress, while the left one does. With the rear off the ground, the left side has what I would call a normal amount of differential lash. Maybe...

Turn the left rear tire, the right turns the opposite way...EVEN IN NEUTRAL. My son and I on opposite sides and we...

    3-Point Hitch  3pt Drop Adjustments - 4210

    I have a 4210 with around 500 hours on it. How should the 3pt hitch work as far as dropping by itself? I understand I have the knob that controls the fall rate. Tighten it up, 3pt doesn't drop at all. Loosen and it slams to the ground. No problem there. When I place the lever in a...
