    Tranferbox control lever

    Hi I have just bought myself an ex-military 1988 county,
    I feel stupid asking these questions but please explain to me what these levers do?
    Please see attached pictures.

    Tranferbox control lever only pulls out about half a centimeter. Is this a vacuum cdl? If it is what does it do?

    The lever in front on the drivers seat next to the hand brake-what does this do?
    Does it have something to do with the winch?
    Which leads me to my next question, how do i operate the mechanical winch?

    Thanks in advance and excuse my ignorance....

    Andrew

    The one that pulls out is your CDL Locks the T/C INTO 4WD The hi/low next to the hand brake (up and down movement) lever selects low range for climbing hills or real slow work then shift back to high for on road , PS Never use the CDL ON Bitumen only momentry for traction if needed not for extended periods on road, Or you will damage your drivline = Big $$$$$

    Thanks rangieman, when i do pull the cdl knob should i get a light on the dash at all?
    How do i know that it is working?

    Also the lever i was refering to "next to the hand break" in the picture, wasnt the hi/low selector I was refering to the T-Knob if u look closely in the picture its just above the hand break...

    Yes you should get the x axle light on the dash when cdl is engaged, Has your truck got a winch as that handle might be for the PTO that engages your winch

    Yep, that T knob is for the winch PTO engagement. In is disengaged out is engaged. There should be a decal on your fuse box cover (in front of the gear lever) that gives you instructions on how to use the winch.

    The perenties don't have this lever next to the handbrake, it is on the transmission tunnel. The one he is talking about is the winch pto engaging T knob.

    Yes, it is for the winch, thanks lads, and yes i do have the decal (sort of) explaining how to use the winch.

    If the light doesnt come on, does it mean the vacuum switch isnt working correctly? Could it mean there is something more seriously wrong with the drive train? Car drives fine otherwise....

    Thanks for your help with this guys....

    Just to clarify, "County" is the trim level of some 110 and 109 models(previously called Deluxe trim), and the Army versions had the poverty pack trim so we just call them by the name of the original Army selection trials "Project Perentie". Usually shortened to "Perentie".

    If you call your vehicle a "Perentie" or "110 Perentie", everyone will know which model you are talking about and the multiple differences they have between them and the civilian models.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
