Quad Range Question

Looking at a 4430 Quad Range that the owner tells me he has to cut tractor off to change ranges....a,b,c,d. Can anyone tell me what this problem might be? Thanks!
 
INTERESTING, assuming he has his foot on the clutch, and the quad lever in neutral, power to tug at the lower shaft and make range shifting difficult would be interrupted at two places.

Still probably boils down to Perma Clutch damaged/dragging or lube reduction valve not functioning properly????
 
Thanks Bob! One other question. I read somewhere about the return line at bottom of steering wheel on a 4430 should be returning about a qt/minute or so. I keep having oil leaks on the clamp on lines and was wondering if I have a pressure leak somewhere. I was thinking of taking this line off and seeing how much oil was returning. Have you ever heard of a rate such as this?
 
I believe that return line on the steering unit (assuming its the later style) subs up to a regular braided hydraulic hose instead of the glorified garden hose that was original.
Have not come across that spec for leakage.
 
Clutch is dragging,, and you can up-grade the hoses to a JIC fitting,,and get away from those leaky push on hoses..it requires the metering pump to be disassembled to get the fitting in, and buying 2 hoeses one to go down to behind the left battery box and 1 out to the steer valve..
 
Yes some thing is letting the clutch drag and this will keep it from going into gear ,,when you shut the
engine down the clutch is not spinning so it will then go into gear, there are a couple possible things in
there to cause this, a warped clutch disc, a broken clutch bolt (this is rare) or the PTO bearing retainer
wearing through and binding up the fingers...only way to know is to Crack her open and look...
