Front wheel drive broken.Jinma 254

If the shift lever is engaging but the front end is not engaged remove the driveline from the front end. There are four balls that fall out of position that will keep the front axle from hooking up, that’s the weakest link. I can’t tell you more as I’ve never had any problems to date, knock on wood. But many others have had this issue, perhaps one will chime in with more information.

I and others had  some problems having the split pin in the 4 wheel engaging lever shear, I believe a quick fix was to put a pin inside a pin to strengthen it. But the balls falling out is common too.
