851 ford diff==left wheel only

Chavey · Aug 24, 2010

My 851 spins the left tire but not the right unless I hold the left brake on. Bothh brakes work, but diff seems t drive only one wheel. Any one know what's likley wrong?

That's why they call it a "differential".

If it drove both axles equally, you'd have one heck of a time getting around a corner.

Early Ford tractors such as the xx0 and xx1 series do not have differential locks.

Not a thing wrong with it. Your car or truck also does the exact same thing and unless you have posi=track or limited slip rear ends all cars/truck/tractors do that
