However, differences between sources, incomplete listings, errors, and data entry mistakes do occur. Mar 21, 2018 - This New Holland model 1620 Diesel Tractor Operator's Manual (Compact 2 and 4 Wheel Drive) is a reproduction of the original.

I recently bought a Ford 1620 4x4 at auction (probably a mistake) with 1690 hours. The engine runs good and the transmission seems to work as it should. The only issues that I am really having is that when I engage the 4x4, it dis-engages a couple seconds after I start to move. I changed the hydraulic fluid and filter today but it still does the same thing. It almost acts like it's not fully engaged.

But the lever is as far back as it will go. Does anyone know if the lever is keyed to the shaft or can it be adjusted to get a little more travel. Any input would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the Tractor Forum. We have some very knowledgeable and experienced members and I'm glad to see the members are already helping. Keep us posted on your findings so far. Here is a link to Messick's parts breakdown which is identical to the Ford list. It may help you see what you are dealing with. I would suggest you obtain the operator's and service manual for your tractor from Amazon or Ebay. The service manual should give you useful information to repair.

Here's your invitation to put your tractor in the Showcase (located under the TRACTOR button at the top of the page). A perk is that if you add your tractor to the Showcase, it becomes instantly eligible to be entered in our monthly tractor contest, in progress right now. Please be sure to add your vote for October's Tractor of the Month, which is found on the main Forum menu as the fourth category, listed as 'Tractor of the month'.

The poll will start shortly and will be at the top of the page. Thank you for your vote, and again, welcome to The Tractor Forum! I do hear a clunk when it is trying to pop out of the detent. I went home at lunch and took another look from underneath. I was able to reach around to move the lever and found that when moving it backwards to engage the 4x4, I couldn't hear or feel the detent engage. But when I move the lever back forward to disengage it, I can both hear and feel it engage the detent.

I didn't see anything that would be keeping the lever from going all the way back, but looking at the slot the lever goes through on the floorboard, it looks like it should be able to go back about another 1/2-inch before contacting the back of the slot. More info - I pulled the floor board to see if it was interfering with the lever going into the detent. It is now going all the way into the detent based on what I hear and feel when moving the lever back. But, unfortunately, it still pops out of the detent when driving it.

So I take it that the tractor will need to be split to see what is broken/worn internally. I haven't ever split a tractor before so not sure what I will be getting into or what to look for once I have access to the inside. If I pull the top cover off the transmission, it looks like I should be able to see the shaft going through the housing and maybe the gears. I'm sure to replace anything, it will need to be split, but at least I may be able to see what the issues are.

I appreciate the info and advice. Just came out from under it, again and I'm pretty sure that it is in the transmission at this point. I engaged the 4x4 with the tractor not running and used some vise grips to try to rotate the front driveshaft. I can feel it slipping as I try to turn it and the noise is coming from the front of the transmission. There is a 2-part set of manuals on eBay for $69.97. Is this a fair price or is there somewhere that I could get them cheaper?

Will it do any more damage to run the tractor as long as I don't try to engage the 4x4? I'm thinking the repair will be a winter project. Well, I pulled the top off the transmission to see what I may be able to see inside and I found the problem. The gear that the fork slides to engage the 4x4 and the gear that it engages is chewed up pretty bad. (see pictures). I know that I will need to split the tractor to do this, but has anyone been inside one of these transmissions to let me know if there are special tools that I will need to replace these gears?

Manual

Any idea where I may be able to get them? I don't know if a dealer can still get these or not.
