... are pto units straight drive through or are they geared?

does the transfer box alter the ratio before it goes to the axle in both cases?

That is what the transfer box is for, after all...
I do think some have a 1:1 ratio in high, it depends.

What are ...

Just want to check thinking on something

if you took drive directly from the rear of the gearbox would it be the same as high or low range or does the transfer box alter the ratio before it goes to ...

mmm yes I assume that any pto unti will run at the gearbox output speed rather than what is coming of the t box. I reckon some sort of second t box to split the dive is the answer as long as the gear ...

mmm i've seen the foleys system, tis clever but pricey and the fun is in diy. the guy i got it off got a second transfer box as he'd herd you could use one to power the back axle & i've seen pics ...

well it's a hell of a step up to the cab! they must be as there is a couple of foot clearance to the bump stops + the tyres are 9.00x16s which gives the axles the same clearance my tractor.

ok problem solved. my muppetry I'm affraid and my not understanding how the deffender box/diff lock works. The AWD is acting as you've all described above and the diff lock seems to be working as we ...

excellent, thanks that gives me a starting point!

mm you might need to go for the whole omlette

apparently the field repair book for ww2 jeeps says to break an egg into the rad to stop up leaks, guess you'd need to do it from hot tho!

just wanted to ask if there is a quick deff answer to this before I start tinkering, apologies if it's been covered before but couldn't find it in a search.

V8 landy which looks as though its done ...

it's always worth double checking the obvious

earth connections, give em a clean
cables, check for boken cores
battery, both could be knackered

test for power at the ignition switch and the st ...

keep an eye on ebay etc. in the next weeks...

has it been changed over to pos earth, does it have an alternator or dynamo?

will post some pics for those interested.

nope no free wheeling hubs

...well that's the next project, get the rear pair driving...

& yes light does come on. will that mean that the diff lock is deff working or does it just think it is?

What I want to know is how does he KNOW there's no drive getting to the front axle, what makes him think that?

...going up an incline where the rear drive wheels get lifted off the ground there ...

thanks for pointers all, I'll spend some more time at the weekend trying to work out whats going on.

If I take the wheels off the rear driving axle should it drive on the front with the diff lock o ...

putting the dif lock on locks up the rear driving axle but has no effect on the front, i.e. still no drive.

All

I've got a 6x4 conversion based on a hi cap which I got about a year ago and have just got around to starting work on. I took it out for a run around the farm & there is no 4wd.

I'm not ...
