We had about 4inches of wet snow last night and I took the Power Wagon out this morning to plow it. I was going very slow and set the plow down and it dug into the ground. All four wheels were still on snow. I was afraid the ground was too soft so I lifted the plow and started to backup slowly. I heard a little "thunk" sound, then no 4WD.
I marked the front drive shaft and had my wife look under the truck. When I spin my wheels in 4WD, the front shaft turns but the tires do not.
I was hoping for some simple answer, but no I am afraid an axle shaft broke. Is there any other possibility?
It is funny because this is as gentle as I have done this all winter. It has plowed great piles of snow with no problem.
Any suggestions?
