I would like to thank the forum for the help in fixing a new to me Rancher. With the help of the search function, and some helpful answers from members, I narrowed down my problem to the electric shift reduction gears.
When I took off the cover, I found that one of the gears had stripped its teeth. I assume the it was from a lack of grease. I installed a new set with plenty of white lithium grease, as recommended here. Just now, took it for a short ride, and it is shifting perfect.
Going to change all the fluids in the next few days. Next week I will give it a long shake down ride, but I foresee no other problems.
