    The 4 wheel drive lever works and the drive shaft turns or not. If I rotate the left wheel the right rotates the other way and Visa versa, in 2wheel. If I rotate the left wheel the right doesn't the other way and Visa versa, in 4wheel. There is still a bad rattle and no 4 wheel drive. When...

    L3400 ring and pinion gear

    I'm going to follow through with both of your suggestions. I have done all the checks in one form or fashion. For the sake of thoroughness, I'll go through your suggestions. When I bought the tractor, there was a terrible rattle, like marbles rolling around, coming from the front axle. I...

    L3400 ring and pinion gear

    I don't have any drive in my front. I checked the driveshaft splines and they are good. I think the ring and pinion gears may be damaged. Does anyone know of a video to help me replace this. I read the shop manual but a visual would help. I think the procedure is the same for L2800DT...

    (Solved) L3400 Water Separator

    Yes. Excellent flow. Messicks mechanic said it must be a defective part. Then they sent the same part, again. I'm wondering if someone installed a spring valve with the wrong spring?

    (Solved) L3400 Water Separator

    Thank you for the reply. I have had it fully assembled and fuel doesn't flow. There are no blockages. There is a spring valve on the inlet. I thought the vacuum from the fuel pump would open the valve, no luck.

    (Solved) L3400 Water Separator

    I have bypassed my water separator and the tractor runs fine. When I hookup 3 lines, inlet, outlet, and return (i think), fuel will not flow through it. This is a complete new part. There is a spring valve on the inlet side. It will not allow fuel to flow to the separator and engine. What's...

    Crunching sound in front axle. L3400

    I did this and get a ruff sound, not so much a bad bearing sound. If you jack your front tires and spin them, what sound do you hear.

    Crunching sound in front axle. L3400

    I have a crunching sound in the front axle when operating in two wheel drive on a smooth road with the loader loaded or not loaded. The noise goes away in four wheel drive. The tie rods are loose but not excessively. There is oil in the axle and no leaks. The wheels are on tight. Do you...
