Fishfiles 13,243 Posted March 22 We went riding Saturday past , I rode the wife's pink 300 , rode for a long time and when I went for 4wd , it would not engage ------ finished with 2wd only , just came in from the yard , jacked the tires off the ground and was working the knob in and out while spraying some lube into it and wham , knob came off in my hand from a broken cable --- lucky I have a kit for it , new cable 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 4,838 Posted March 22 did the detent balls come out ? they gave me a fit putting the switch back together.....when i went to fine tune mine, i wonder if wheeler, jeep, wheeler, or Mac had that happen along with anyone else here who has a 424 kickout, i take it the switch is the same on the warn as it is on the wide open model, i would think so.

There are at least 3 different style knob assemblies over the productions of the 424 , the first ones had two small bearings , then they went to one bigger ball --- the detent ball is still in place , you can see it in the pic ---- that cable was replaced before , I got this 424 from Charlie Long at Dick's Cycles for $50 a very long time ago , and then rebuilt it with a $100 kit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 4,838 Posted March 24 thanks fish..... i had no idea they had defrent switches.. if i recall right ? mine (which is a wide open brand) had 2 the instructions don't show, and it's been over 5 years sence i took the switch apart to add a heavy duty spring, and fine tune the gear clearance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 13,243 Posted April 6 Rebuilt my wife's 300's 424 , cable had broke the end off , cable wasn't frozen , could engage it with the mini vise grips , the bearings are still good , so did not change the bearings , was able to get it out the atv by removing the diff bolts and moving the diff forward , cleaned it out and repacked it with grease ---- need to find somewhere that can make a cable 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 13,243 Posted April 8 So I had a little water in the transfer case , so drill and tap the cap , best way I found to hold it down while drilling and tapping , drain and flush , 1/2 Lucas Hub Oil and 1/2 marine grease , it took 160 pumps to come out the vent tube , after the ride this weekend I am going to pump ot full again , front diff is already greased for a few years now , if you go in the water , greasing is by far the way to go ---- * if I could find someone to make this 424 cable , I could make some serious denaro 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
