front axle not engaged

[1970amgeneral]

Hey guys. I'm new here and I have some questions about my deuce. I can't get the front axle to engage. It has no air lines or electricals running to it just a driveshaft. I was told it was all time 6x6, but after a little hill climb today I noticed my front wheels were not pulling. Any help would be greatly appreciated.......thanks.

You have a sprag transfer case, keep it adjusted and most of the time will work great, the -10 should have all the info in you need.

DID your rears spin, front will not engage if the rears are not starting to spin

Hey, no wires or air lines there, running to the front axle... it is the front output of the transfer case that gets engaged (or not).

Start by crawling under your truck and looking up at the front of your TC.
Then tell us which model you have. (only 2 options; below........)

transfer case #'s

the numbers on the front of my transfer case are 4875-x-284. i beleive it is a sprag. the only other cable coming off of it looks to be the speedo cable.

As suggested above, read the -10 manual for the truck. The manuals are available under the "resource" tab at the top of this page.

Welcome to the site, doing a search of M35 sprag threads will tell you more than you can imagine about them.

Welcome to the fun by the way.
