Back tires of 4520P stuck in high range speed. Any of you guys ever experienced this? I can work in high range fine, but when I set to low range the front set is spinning at low range speeds. Is this an easy fix? My dealer maintenance staff says they have a 4 week backlog. I need this fixed pronto.

Are you saying that with the selector in "high range" all four wheels are turning at the same speed, but when in "low range" three of them are turning at a lower speed but one wheel is turning faster? How are you able to see that? Are you driving on gravel and three of the wheels are turning normally but one is visibly spinning and kicking up gravel?

The High/Low shift lever has two visible connections, with one going to each of the front and rear transaxles to make the gear change. If your problem was that both front wheels were turning at a different speed than both rears, then it could have been an issue with that connector, which may have been easy to fix (like the connection had come apart at the lever itself). But you’ve described that just one wheel of the two wheels on a single transaxle is spinning at a different speed. That suggests that something is broken inside the transaxle and it isn’t going to be a “easy fix” at all.

Since I read your original post you've edited it to say that both back wheels are spinning at a different rate than the fronts (not just one wheel), so check the linkage on the lever to see if it has become disconnected. It's that's not the problem you'll have to try to get to the other end of the linkage at the transaxle.

Sounds like the transaxle gears are not aligned when shifting into "low."

Move the steering wheel just a little and the gears will align and you should be able to complete the shift.

Be sure to use the ball pin to lock the lever in place.
