Arbman Al Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Running some wood out of a field, and heard a bang, then something seems to have locked up in the drivetrain. Can select all gears on auto box, but diff lock lever jammed. Landy moves about a foot forwards and backwards before locking up. Jacked one front wheel up and won't turn more than a few degrees. Diff liock lever looks to be disengaged but not sure. Does this sound like t/box or half shafts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 need to take the props off one at a time to be sure? then you can see if it is your gearbox or your axles. Start at the end where you heard the bang. You should be able to see if your difflock is disengaged at the same time. If it will "move a bit" the I'd be looking at a c.v or a diff crownwheel Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbman Al Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 AA mans been and disconnected props . Front and rear turn nicely, so must be transfer box. I just put on a disco box so was a bit unknown, BT seemed alright. Atleast I've got my 1:4 box at home which I can put back on tomorrow. Cheers.

tacr2man Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Before you pull off your transfer gear box , sounds like diff susp front they will quite often work ok when no prop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbman Al Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Definately transfer box. Bits of needle roller and gear teeth came out with the oil. This transfer box was from a discovery and bought for £27 off ebay, so worth the gamble. Old 1:4 transfer box back on now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 whats the auto like with the 1.4:1 tfb ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbman Al Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 whats the auto like with the 1.4:1 tfb ? First day driving with it today, and seems ok. Pulled out of a junction earlier, and just as I pulled out a car came round the corner, so put my foot down and started wheel spinning! Never did that with my 300tdi and R380, mind you I have a remap to 170 bhp as well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
