Reverse Module Troubles :(

[gator]

Has anyone else ever just had your reverse module just stop working? Before I go and replace it I want to know if this is a common trouble. Any Advise?

Not to sure what you mean about "Just stop working", but check the servo and make sure when you engage reverse the servo works. If the servo works check and make sure the servo arm has enough throw to fully engage the linkage.

Check inside the tranny case also, see if there are any broken gears. Good luck.

Sorry about that guys it was a quick post after a long day. I have checked that the servo engages the module, that works fine, I have also taken the tranny apart and everything looks good there. I have however recently discovered that I have 2 stripped rims at the hex hub. I can now get the truck to move forward by lifting the rear of the truck and rolling it forward briefly. I will post more with further investigating.

Sorry it's taking me so long to get back, I found the problem with the reverse module. The gear was broken inside of the module itself. I'm not sure if somewhere along the line the mixer tried to engage the reverse while the truck was in motion, however it is repaired and ripping up the fields again.. 🙂
