A wheel motor disconnect includes a rotatable plate with sized apertures including locking detents. A depressor pin extends perpendicularly from the plate. The apertures are received over shouldered spacers or guides which are connected to the wheel hub. In the drive position, the plate is located at the outermost ends of the spacers, and the pin is offset from the spring-loaded drive shaft to allow the shaft to drivingly engage a reduction gear arrangement. To disconnect the drive, the operator urges the plate axially inwardly against the bias of the drive shaft so that the apertures slide inwardly along the spacers to move the shaft out of driving relationship with the reduction gear arrangement. The operator then rotates the plate in a first direction so smaller apertures move into the shouldered area and prevent the plate from moving axially outwardly. The locking detents prevent rotation of the plate away from the shouldered area until the operator depresses the plate slightly and rotates the plate in the direction opposite the first direction.
