Hi mate, did Bill manage to sort you out,

no mate, never contacted me.
Not to worry, a better one has come along and a bit closer to me.
Thanx for trying though.

Engage 4wd by pressing the little 4wd button on the wee gearstick, do this with truck in neutral. 4wd , centre diff open should engage and the 4 green lights should go solid on the little 4wd mimic display. You can drive around in circles like this all day without damaging anything

On a straight bit of road, at a speed less than ( 60 ?? kmph) Pull the wee gearstick back a notch. This should engage 4wd centre diff locked, the 4 green lights at each corner should light up and the orange light ( centre diff) should light up. You can drive for a bit in a straight line like this without winding anything up. Then flick the 4wd stick back to the 2H position and all the lights should go off.

Theres probably more things you could play with, 4L and the like, but if all the above is done, and happens, the 4WD works

Its nice to see someone else moving away from the agricultural side of things. You wont regret it. Good as the tractors are, the 3rd gen is better, and Im sure " you are worth it"

Actually the button can be pressed whilst moving, but the throttle pedal needs to be released then re-applied for 4WD to engage.

No, the transfer lever. Thats assuming to truck you're going to see has multi-mode 4WD.

I was going to say that, but didn't want to seem arsey!

[blackpoolsparks]

How will i know that?

[Albannach]

How will i know that?

If the gearstick/4wd selector layout looks like a 2nd gen, it doesn't have multi-mode.

[BUSHWHACKER]

The transfer lever will have lots of options printed on the knob.
