Transmission problems
I can't get that transmission to go into reverse nor will it engage the 4x4 the front wheels won't turn at all, I tried the lockers as well, nothing it recently blew the hose between the rad and the tranny and then sat for the winter, I put a new hose clamp on and refilled the transmission fluid to spec. Any thoughts? Any help will, well help! Thanks in advance

lost of questions to be asked, so you blew a transmission line? you drove it till it quit working? then left it sit all winter? now you fixed the line and put fluid in it and think it should work?
I am betting you need a new transmission, but i'm just guessing!

The front wheels are engaged or disengaged by the transfer case, not the transmission.
Reverse is a separate problem. If it ran out of fluid when you were in reverse you could have wiped out the reverse clutch.
When you checked the trans fluid level was the trans warmed up, in park, engine idling?

Yeah I started it in minus way too cold as I live in the north west territories and then the line blew I had parked it because I didn't have the money to fix it or know how really, so it got towed to the parking spot it was in yesterday now I tried to refill the fluid and I checked it with the engine warmed up and running yup
