Most likely armature plate in hub magnetized causing 4 wheel drive on that wheel.If this is the cause REPLACE both sides as other side will eventually do the same thing! Plates are about 10 bucks each. I do this constantly on the older machines as they wear and get a few years on em! One reason I think they went to centralized awd system Also check for seal leakage/low fluid level. May can get to operate by just cleaning and new fluid as mentioned above! Good luck
