This seems likely. I can hold the input shaft while I spin the front wheels.
I guess i will have to pull the front axle and disassemble to find out for sure.
Today the front end of my ym186D had what i would consider a catastrophic failure.
I had it in 4x4 and it made a noise and i think i have something broken in the front end.
I parked her and removed the front driveshaft to find that if i try to move the tractor the front axle will turn about...
