K9 4x4 ???

[Kloud Nine]

I may be stoopid but.............. I'm sure I read somewhere that the 4wd on a K9 was 'part time' but the chap I'm buying mine from says no.

 

So are they or aren't they?

The K9 has part time 4WD for definate

Dont thnik though you can have high ratio 4x4 (as per Land Rover)

When the transfer box is in low four wheel drive engaged

The Morris equivalent though AFAIK had the facility for high ratio 4X4 but this was normally blanked off in the military version

You engage 4wd manually.This happened in Germany, 1957, not me I hasten to add, both driver and passenger emerged unscathed.

Thanks guys, as I thought ;-)

Late here, but as said 4x4 in low range, 4x2 in high range.

 

You can shift from one to the other on the move, unlike a lot of vehicles. Not recommended at speed!

 

Don't use in 4wd on hard surfaces (even packed dry gravel) for any distance - they wind up like mad. If the steering gets heavy and it wants to turn left all the time, check for wind up.
