    Whats it do

    The old landys have three sticks protruding from the floor, with respect to the yellow knob what exactly is its purpose, it must be a lockout type of thing, all I know is slap it down and engage your transfer case but thats as far as I go, never really bothered to look into it

    Yellow one is to engage 4wd. Push it down and it engages, and the lever stays down. Red one pulls back to engage low range, and the yellow one pups up again. Push the red one fowards and you are back in 2wd.

    • The yellow one is the rest for your handbag, it has a nice little spring to protect the valuables inside your bag.
    • The red one is what you tie the handles for the bag to. (I don't understang why they didn't put a hook instead of a knob!)

    Now if you are in a traffic jam you can pull the red one back and the car will go slower.

    The yellow one is a gearshift for blondes

    The red one is a gearshift for redheads

    The black one is for the brunettes


    The Blonde says

    I am yellow and slim with two stages of dim

    The redhead says

    I am short and red and good for tread

    The brunette says

    I am dark and tall with 4 on the floor


    There you go. Idiot proof.

    Phoenix is correct - but I couldn't miss an opportunity for a laugh!
    4 Wheel Drive.
    For ease of explanation, the series transfer boxes are always 4 wheel drive in low ratio*.
    • When you are in high ratio the transfer box is in 2 wheel drive (or more accurately rear wheel drive). If you want to engage 4 wheel drive while you are in high ratio you push the yellow button down. Even "on-the-move".
    • To get the vehicle back into 2 wheel drive, you have to stop. Select low ratio (the button will pop up) and then select high ratio.


    *Remember, if you have freewheel hubs on the front wheels, you need to "Engage" the hubs on both front wheels before 4 wheel drive works.

    Ratios.
    For normal running you use "High ratio" or "High Range", if you encounter a very sleep incline etc then you use Low Ratio.

    Hope this helps.

    I knew how to use them but wasnt sure on the exact purpose of the yellow lever, I generally leave the gearboxes for those who know, the engines are easy for me to muddle around with, as my body is raised they lenghtened the yellow knob shaft, didnt do a real good job as to keep it in the up position it has a bracket under the dash with a friggin spring, alot of stuffing around, have to rectify it one day.
