My rancher will not go into gear at times, especially reverse. But, if I take the screws loose on the on the assembly and spray WD-40 in there and let it set it will begin to work on the forward gears. It is hit and miss with reverse and sometimes I have to reset the machine.

Anyone had this problem and/or know how to fix it, short of buying a new assembly?

Thanks

 

have you tried distalic grease instead of of wd-40...on the controls and the angle sensor


also how did you get the shifter thing open i was going to do the same thing as you put with grease

mine shifts most of the time but i have problems to

 

Does the gear shift indicator flash a code..?

 

hey hondamechanic i know this is a dumb question but i cant seem to get the shifter controller apart do you know what page its on in the manual

 

I have not tried the grease, is it fairly easy to find? It does flash a code.

As far as getting the assembly apart, I just loosened the screws and pried it apart with a screwdriver far enough to get the spray nozzle of the WD-40 in there.

 

If you mean the up/down shift buttons they are sealed and don't come apart ...

 

ok

 

The N on my 420 is flashing 4 times and then 2 times quickly, any ideas what that tells me.

Thanks!
