My Ford 2600 has a problem turning in either direction. The front wheels skid in any kind of tight turn. Anybody got ideas on what the problem is?
Thanks, Jim

Lack of weight on the front.

G'day i agree with hooked the diff lock sounds like the place to start I have had to pull quite a few to bits because the diff lock has jammed on after using it , they unfortunately seize on due to a lack of use sometimes you can be lucky and jack one wheel up and rock it whilst someone operates the control and apply heaps of penetrene to any pivots best of luck:)

You guys were dead on. The differential lock was stuck. Got it unstuck by going foward and reverse a little and pulling up on the lever. Turns great now! Thanks all. Jim
