RonJ, I Tried what you suggested, I rolled down hill in 4wd clutch in, then clutch out. Did same thing with heavy load in loader. With load its not as noticeable since the load carries tractor downhill with force of the extra weight but the problem is still there.
David, I would love to know if and how your friend corrected his problem.
Fido. I owned this tractor since new in 2006. This problem started about a year ago and has gotten progressively worse. I have the same tires since new.Everything on the tractor is original.
Well, I give up. I can't find one thing that could cause this problem. Everything looks and works as it should. I put everything back together and still have the same problem. I will oil up everything and run it until something breaks. Out of ideas and tired of playing with this issue.

I did check the claw as well as the gears in the transfer case before disassembling of complete front axle. At a loss as to what could be wrong, I am going to reassemble everything and run the tractor on the ground without oil in the transmission, transfer case and front drive. Without oil and top of transmission off I just might be able to see something weird happen and finally get to the real problem.
I did that before pulling everything apart. I am going to reassemble everything and leave the cover off the gear box and move the tractor in 4wd when it binds up I'll stop and try to see if I can isolate where the problem is. I will look at the mechanism in the box that engages the 4wd drive first, I notice that when it binds up I cannot easily pull it out of 4wd. I will try to visually see what is happening in there and the transfer case. I am going to do this without oil in the box. I only have to move a foot or two for it to bind. Next I will try jacking up one front wheel at a time to see if it will release the torke. I don't want to start buying expensive parts without knowing for sure if those parts are truly bad. If I can isolate the problem to one area I'll buy that assembly. Hopefully I can find the correct test that will reveal the bad parts. Its now a guessing game.
Thanks for your help Trevor and David.
I spent today looking at everything. Every single part is disassembled from the transfer case forward. All bearings and gears look good. I checked the gears in transfer case carefully and they are fine. I looked in the gearbox and carefully checked the claw going into and out of 4wd I can't even think of what else to try.
