2000 JD 990 4wdr problem

   / 2000 JD 990 4wdr problem #11  
Ok here is a update! Finally got to dig into it. the plate the holds the axel in the tractor was loose cant see it couldnt tell the bolts were loose but sure enough they were an that is what was causing the problem with the MFWD.

Guess the axel would pull a bit an cause the drive shaft to slip.
Any way all is good.

Hey, I have the exact same problem with my 2005 990. I am happy to hear it wasn't a huge issue for you you. Could you be more about what you had to fix? Thanks

I have a 2001 John Deere 990 tractor That I bought new with 411 hours on it.
recently having a noise while in four wheel drive.
Took the driveshaft out, which is a easy job.
Some ball bearings fell out when removing shaft and cover.
Upon looking at drive shaft, one end was good, with almost no grease,
The other end was missing parts, balls, bearings,ect,
looking at the drive shaft it self, No lubrication, grease,ect.
The grooves where the balls ride was severely wore and balls had fell out, this is the end on the rear end, 6 balls,1 missing. Splines on both ends at tractor are good, no ware.
I will need a new drive shaft, about $400 and some balls, new spacers, 1 plastic piece called seal(?) ect
Cost about $500.
This is a place to regrease every year or two, or even couple of hundred hours.
No mention of maintained in the service schedule?
Do yourself a favor and grease this some at least!!!
ALSO: I have a stump cutter from woodlandmills.ca ,that I used to cut stumps,
75-100 so far
Hope this helps
