professorpg 2 Posted May 14, 2020 I have a pull knob with a button that changes the machine from 2wd to 4wd. I do not find this in the repair manual. Is this thing factory equipment or an addon. It works, I just do not understand why it is not in the manual. Thank you for your input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 5,969 Posted May 14, 2020 because its not a factory installed part, its an after market part, you wont find it anywhere in the owners manual or service manual. chances are, its either an old warn 424 ?, or a product by wide open ?. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,721 Posted May 14, 2020 424, originally made by Warn, but now sold by a company called Wide Open. Rebuild kits are available. What particular machine do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,147 Posted May 14, 2020 When the corona and chinese trade wars started , I seen 424s on e-bay that were going for $500-700 , seems a few have popped up recently for the old $369 price , if anyone wants one , now would be the time to grab one , they might become hard to get 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And @professorpg are you having trouble from your 424 or were you just curious about it? Bearings and seals can be bought separately on ebay. I bought a used one and rather than spend $100+ on a rebuild kit I just bought new bearings and seals, and cleaned and lubed the old cable. For your particular machine I like this mod. Several of us have done it on the 350 Ranchers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted May 15, 2020 I noticed last night that there are a lot of bearing kits with no cable for sale ---- I did find Highlifter has some rebuild kits with the cable for $117 , I wish they would sell just the cable 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
