John Deere Gator 4x2 rear end clicks
I have a late 90s 4x2 gator and when I have the differential locked in the rear end sometimes makes a loud clicking sound. Adjusting the cable helps for a little while but then it will start clicking again. is my cable worn out or is it something in the rear end that needs replaced?

You are not attempting turns when differential lock is engaged, are you?

thanks I did not have a manual for mine. I've been using it in the snow lately and it doesn't go very well if the differential isnt locked in.

Never had ours in snow (we seldom get any) but in mud that can be about helpless! Learned to not spit on the ground in front of the wheels! Might not be that helpless but seems so and we have the oversize mud tires on it. Is tire chains possible on it? kt

It goes decent in the snow until it high centered. Chains help but might need to remove the rear fenders. Mine doesn't have the fenders so I'm not sure about the clearance.
