Help with 2006 Land Pride Treker 4410

[Charles Cox]

Hello all, I'm new here. I found this forum by accident while trying to do some online research. I picked up a 2006 Land Pride Treker 4410 at a farm auction. It's a one owner UTV in pretty good shape. It runs and drives fine except it will not start out moving forward in 2WD. I have to start it moving in 4WD and once it's moving forward, I can switch it down to 2WD. If I try to start out in 2WD the engine revs but the unit will not move. Does anyone know what could be causing it? I'm thinking maybe a differential actuator? I know less than nothing about these units. The only thing I've been told so far is parts may be hard to come by. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Charles,

I'm new here too.  We picked up a used 2006 like you and recently had problems with engine revving ok, but no vehicle movement.  After finally getting the cover loosened so I could see belt between drive pulley and driven pulley, I finally found that the bolt and keystock had come out of the driven pulley.  I had to remove the tire on that side in order to see into the hole to find that parts had shifted and keyway was no longer lined up to allow keystock to be put back in.  I haven't been able to get it back into alignment and none of the manuals I have found mention anything about it.   We have no Land Pride dealers around so I'm at a loss as to how to get it fixed.

I'm not impressed with the manufacturing design of this vehicle. The pulley cover can't be removed completely because of insufficient clearance. A sheet metal panel must be removed to get the pulley cover off.  Nuts should have been welded in place at mfg. Screws holding the sheet metal panel in place are located behind 1" wire bundles that do not allow box end wrench or sockets to get onto the nut and insufficient clearance to allow a ratchet to move.  I'm sure that helped keep their maintenance shop funded by additional labor hours required for repairs.

Any suggestions for repair would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
