Gentlemen, Thanks for the replies! I think I have isolated the shifting issue to the final piece of the linkage in the 2H-4H half of the 4x4 shifter. It's the specific piece that is much like a ball-and-socket joint. The socket portion of the linkage had fallen off of the ball actuator that...

Kurt, The dash diagram is the same as it is on every 40 I've seen--2H up top, straight down to 4H, then right to N and far right to 4L (I'll get a specific pic in the morning and post it). I'm just not sure that it is properly engaging and since I haven't had one of this variety, I am wondering...

Here's a front axle picture.

I have a 1976 Costa Rican BJ40 with a solid front axle and I wondering how exactly to get it into 4WD, given that it doesn't have locking hubs on the front. Is it always in 4wheel high? [that doesn't seem to make any sense to me, but, I clearly don't know as much as I thought I did about...

Wow! that's one hell of a welcome! I'm sure you know exactly how helpful that will be. At some point I will relate the sordid tale of how I came into this truck- it is a Shakespearean tale of woe, repleat with love and betrayal- but I'll save that for later. Let me say for now: thank you very much!

Gentlemen and Ladies, Just wanted to introduce myself to the community as a new H diesel owner. I have read dozens of posts, but this is my first thread (which I am undoubtedly doing wrong being a technological Luddite as I am). I've enjoyed the extremely knowledgeable banter as well as the...
