Hello! Welcome to the Ornage tractor forums!
A ford you say.... What's that?

Only kidding!

Why not disengage all drive (neutral, 4WD off) and jack up each corner and see if the wheels are free and take it from there.

Just looking at the parts breakdown, it looks like you could remove the drive shaft (spindle) without too much trouble. Then, if it still pulls in 2WD but not 4WD the problem must be in the transfer case area. (My Ford is only plain-Jane)

Add: that's not going to tell. If you pull the driveshaft, will the tractor coast in 2WD and 4WD? Did this start suddenly, or had it been making warning noises?
