My 1999 MF 1225 grinds the gears when the 4wheel lever is pushed down to engage. It seems to engage, then pops-out. I can't find any way to adjust the lever. It just has a straight pin thru the lever and shaft. I don't have a service manual and the owners manual says nothing about front wheel adjustment. anyone have a working solution for this problem?

Not familiar with the MF but typically the lever operates a fork that gets worn and needs to be replaced. Not a major job at an MF dealer. Before I fixed that on mine I used a bungee to hold the lever in 4. But you should be in 4 only on a slippery surface. ....

I have Kubota with hydro trans and I only shift the trans with clutch depressed. Too simple not to try that to me. Might not solve issued but it may help it travel just the slight distance more it needs to fully engage. You are NOT on hard surface when doing this are you? If so the four wheel drive is likely binding and that is putting load on it and helping it kick out maybe saving the four wheel drive. ....
