OK. Somebody explain me this.
1973 5-ton M51 A2 Multifuel
Front wheels jacked up and free, rear wheels on the ground.
Both front wheels free, when turning one it will turn the other in opposit direction.
In neutral AND in forward gear, keeping one front wheel fixed (not turning) and the other free. If I turn that free wheel forward, it moves the cardan shaft (between front differential and tranny). If I try move it backwards, no movement.
Gear in backward, I can move the free wheel backward but not forward.
I thought that on a permament 6x6, when gearbok and tranny are engaged, its impossible to turn the cardan shaft?
Is this the effect of a sprag? I thought later models did not have that?
