I have a 1997 Scrambler. I noticed in the snow the other day the front right tire spins without the 4x4 engaged. With the 4x4 engaged, both tires pull normally. Is this normal? What could be the cause? Also how does that button engage the 4x4? Is it like a magnetic clutch? Where is that located? Or does it engade hubs electronically? Which might explain the one tire pulling all the time like a hub stuck in or something.

Help....lol

 

Magnetic hilliard clutch in the hubs, try changing the fluid in the hubs, use polaris demand drive hub fluid.

 

I told the polaris dealer to change all fluids...so if they didn't change the hub fluid, you think that could be it? Also, do these fail often?

 

also make sure there is no play in the bearings,play ruins the hilliards.

 

I had the dealer check the whole thing over, they never mentioned bearings so I assume they are tight. I asked and they checked the hub fluid its all good...os what else could it be?
