    EX50 No 4WD lost drive to front end

    ok some news, i tested with pressure gauge today and no pressure at all from the 4wd port - two days ago i had some flow but none today, tractor still has some steering so i dont think the hyd pump is at fault. so i removed the modulating valve and stripped it down slowly and bagged each valve...

    Oil & Fuel Front axle draining

    here you go, arrow points to the drain hole, in this case the cir clip is in correct location and oil will drain, but if cir clip rotates the hole will be blocked and oil can not be drained. I hope this helps. cheers
