Forgot to take it out of 4WD while roading on dry pavement. I was going staright in 3 - 4 range at 2000 RPM. All the sudden heard clicking from what I thought was right side engine. Thought it was an engine issue. Then i remembered I was in 4WD last time I used the machine. Stopped and took it out of 4WD.

Clicking coninues. Got back home and went to working the machine. Noticed I have no 4wd.

Wonder how bad it is. Anyone have a tear down/service manual?

Same issue with our BX several years ago, roading in 4-WD at max speed. If i remember correctly, dealer repair was $300.

Don't do loader work in 2-WD. Ramming the bucket into piles of dirt in 2-WD to load it is very tough on FEL hydraulics.
