Re：Transfer box oil Date Posted：17/10/2013 10:48:33Copy HTML SteveJ below is correct according to manual . : diesel engine type detergent oil (15/40 ? ) capacity says 3.4 litres
Mines been running on gear oil because thats what came out of it when I first got it off the MOD. Ah well Thanks for the pointer. It has always operated as it should do . Bit late now I suppose. |

Re：Transfer box oil Date Posted：22/10/2013 07:21:57Copy HTML According to the army manual 2320-E-200-601 page 6 the transfer box takes OMD90 oil which is the same as the engine oil spec.
The transmission and differentials and the front CV joints take OEP220 which is gear oil. |

Re：Transfer box oil Date Posted：26/10/2013 11:19:25Copy HTML My Transfer box like all MOD RB44`s is cable operated from the incab lever.In fact I think all RB`s including the 7.5ton Utility models are cable operated. It will be the diff.lock actuator which is Air (on RB75`s) or vaccuum operated on lighter weight models with vacuum assisted brakes. You need someone breaking RB44`s for your lever assembly & cable. There must be some for breaking because they have mostly been sold off by now. & some have been not exactly runners . Where they have gone I dont Know. |

Re：Transfer box oil Date Posted：01/11/2013 06:17:31Copy HTML Thanks for that info Greg. Thought there didnt seem to be much sign of any here considering they have been selling em off in 20`s & 30`s for some time now. Guy at Withams told me they were nearly all gone now.

Re：Transfer box oil Date Posted：01/11/2013 07:31:00Copy HTML Quite a few have been sold in the uk and are used as shooting vehicles, even one is used to pull the cable to lift gliders up into the air at a place in sussex near lewes, there are two used as underground support vehicles and never see the light of day or rain in a mine in Ireland, two in Canada that I know of being restored, just sent brake shoes and door locks out there.

Re：Transfer box oil Date Posted：03/11/2013 12:54:30Copy HTML I measured the cable underneath lay on the floor in the rain for ya. It appears 40" long plus about 4" in the cab.
It`s a sturdy old thing Merlo. & I think you gonna need a picture of it really. There are obviously fittings each end & threaded adjuster & clevis type end fittings etc. It`s a thick ,strong cable for sure. |

Re：Transfer box oil Date Posted：06/11/2013 09:56:34Copy HTML Yes if the rod is pushed in the transfer will be in Low Ratio.
I`ll sort picture ASAP. Diff lock is only to be used on loose or slippery surfaces OR a straight line driving on hard surfaces . It wont let the front turning wheels to travel at the neccessary different speed to the rear diagonally opposite wheel & therefore transmission "wind-up" results. Hard steering ,scrubbed tyres & strain on the gears. It is just for when most traction is needed, giving equal locked drive to both front & rear axles. Light sometimes takes a few metres of travel before coming on/going off. Or it might have a fault . or it might not be working at the switch/knob or the actuator on the box ? |

Re：Transfer box oil Date Posted：20/01/2014 09:02:05Copy HTML Hi John
don't know why you couldn't get in with your old id? I can get it fixed for you if you want?
Hope your well.

Re：Transfer box oil Date Posted：25/01/2014 11:24:04Copy HTML Back here again , Sorry its drawing this thread out . When I sign in , it tells me to enter my user name when I already have. ???
Just done it again ? However I logged into Aimoo & it finally accepted me again. Not to worry Greg no problem needing to change back. Cheers though. Sorry Merlo I did take pics underneath of a transfer cable but its ages ago now & I`m a bit late if you have got one sorted. |
