The shifter on the passanger side is for the front winch. The one next to the driver is the transfer case. The one behind the seat on the left of the driver is the power divider which turns on the pto to the rear winch and the boom.

It is not a good idea to play with it without the manual. You can really get yourself in a mess by putting the rear winch in gear without knowing it.

The manuals for the wrecker should be on site, under Resources, look for any manuals 9-2320-211-xx, xx would be the levels. The 10s are the operator controls. If not there or you are on a dialup, PM me with a shipping address. Wayne

And of course no video for the rest of us. :cry: There are some members in your area but Kenny is the only one in that half of the state that I know has one, there is also at least one in Live Oak. Wayne

I'd love to help but I'm not checked off on medium wreckers, only the deuce light wrecker and crane.
