John Deere 210LE Loader Serial Number - *T0210LE882024* Currently having issues with the 4x4 on my 210LE. Ive check the fuses, fluids, and traced all the wires. Can someone help me identify which solenoid is for the MFWD in the attached photo. Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    The top solenoid is the MFWD.

    When I put a test light on the top solenoid plug, it has power when the MFWD is in the off position. Is that correct?

    Just in case i have this backwards i know middle solenoid is park but i may have bottom and top backwards make sure diff lock switch is off and check for power again. Best i can remember power should only be there when switch is on.

    Welcome to HEF Big-Bob ! Bottom solenoid is the MFWD. Electrically, when the solenoid has 12 volts, the MFWD is off. No voltage to the solenoid, then the MFWD should be on. It is a spring applied, hydraulically released system. So either you have 12 volts there all the time, or the solenoid cartridge is stuck in the pressurized position. If there is no voltage with the switch in the "on" position, then swap the top and bottom assemblies to see if that resolves your MFWD issue.

    @Big-Bob I never asked and I did not see it written. Is it stuck on or off? The above advice is for it being stuck off.
