Next stop Valhalla - 11/30/2025 20:03 Not much of a description in book. Looks like its hyd activated both ways. I could've sworn it was spring returned one way. Hopefully you can zoom in on pictures. Autotronics is looking for speed and pressure to allow the shift. If 4wd is working should have good pressure reading for the autotronics. If you have 4wd engaged will it disengage when you are driving fast? That will say if speed sensor is working.
   



the only thing that  disengages  'at speed'    is the   differential lock-  kicks out around  6-8 mph...   

4x4  works at all speeds..   and been this way  since I bought it  5 yrs ago. 

the  indicator light  (rabbit,  turtle)   changes..(I'm thinking here,  the 'autotronics' part is  functional)  

another clue the autotronics part is  ok here... the indicator will instantly change  while stopped,  but   if  rolling  a little, it'll wait for the tractor to completely stop  before the light  changes-  so I believe the  ''speed'  thing is  functional.  at least in the  range shifter part.


This summer,   after bending that  servo valve up,   it would  'kick out' of high range,  and  end up in neutral.. coasting to a stop.  I discovered the bent  servo, replaced it,  and been  good  up until yesterday.    it was bent in such a way it wasn't allowing full stroke of the  solenoid's  armature.. 

finding the  'action'  that pulls in into low range will be  first thing to  nail down,  then  work the problem backwards..  
somewhere buried in one of my devices  I have the  digital version of a  very piss poorly   organized  service manual
