        I have a JM304 and have been bush hogging all day. I went to engage the 4 wheel drive and could not get the lever to pull up. I have not used 4wd since winter and am curious as to why I can't get it to engage. Any help greatly appreciated.

          Spray WD40 where the operation handle and shaft come out of the side of the transmission housing,work it up and down it should free right up.

            Do what Tommy says.  My 2007 304 will get a bit fussy if left in 2wd for long periods and it works for me – also I have to ease the clutch out gently or have the tractor rolling a little bit sometimes to get it to slip into 4wd.  Often it is impossible to get it to go if the tractor is in neutral – the gears need to be moving a bit to get lined up and slip in.

            Out of curiosity, what is your top engine rpm at full throttle?  I keep thinking my governor may be set a little low as mine only gets up to 1900 rpm, though the tach shows a bit more to be the “green” zone for the PTO.  I have the TY395 3-cylinder engine.
