8111 Differential lock won't disengage

I looked at the linkage and with the peddle up the linkage at the differential looks to be IN all the way. When pushing the peddle the linkage only moves about 3/8 of an inch at the differential. Is there a way to just disconnect it. The tractor won't hardly turn with it engaged. Thanks Jack

Hi Jack,

You may need to jack one rear wheel up to relieve any wind up between the left and right side, and while it's up, work the linkage while spraying some penetrant on it. It sounds like it may be stuck inside the rear axle though, and if this is the case, disconnecting the linkage wouldn't help. Try the above first, and see how you go!

Cheers,
Aaron.
