Maybe the clutch pack is worn out.

I did lift the front and spun the front wheels while in gear. I spun the one wheel forward and the other wheel spun the opposite direction. My Rancher will not allow the front wheels to spin if the rear tires are on the ground.

Just purchased an extremely nice 1997 Foreman 400 with only 1650 miles on it. I've been riding an '04 Rancher 350 4x4 for years and it does really well in the snow and ice. I went out riding in about an inch or 2 of snow yesterday when noticed it fishtails like crazy. My son was riding the Rancher and had no problems at all. The front wheels of the Foreman seem to be spinning at times but not as aggressively as the Rancher" front wheels. Does the old Foreman have an open diff or is the diff shot?
