Pulled transfer case off and apart today to see why the MFWD was permanently engaged on a 7410 PowerQuad. Found the sealing rings on the shaft were missing along with worn bushings. New bushings and all seals on the way from Deere.
I decided to check and clean the suction screen while i was there. Pulled the screen, not to bad, except for a bent up little spring hung up in the mesh of the screen. Felt around in the valley under the screen with my finger and dug out a couple of big chunks of, what i believe is, plastic, along with a little dimple piece.

Penny for scale.
Im guessing this is either part of a sensor or switch that is broken off, but which one would it be?
I checked the PTO speed sensor and the 3 switches i could see on the front of the trans around the filter, but none were broken. I would think if it were a speed sensor, it would not have a spring, as those are magnetic/hall effect sensors. Could it be some sort of neutral safety switch or pressure switch?
