NV205 on the bench

Well, it'll be on the bench soon.

When I do, is there a way to change into 4x4 high or low by hand?

Second question. Can any safe conclusions be made about the inner condition of gears, etc., just by rotating a yoke? When I turn one yoke the other two turn immediately.

Hit up YouTube for vids. There is a three-part rebuild how-to that shows everything.

Popping the PTO cover off the side will let you see some of the gears and is easy to reseal with some silicone. The two shafts that stick out the front move in and out. Play with them a little and you will be able to figure out which one is High-Low and which is 2wd-4wd.

IF there is not metal in the bottom, and no rust, I would be surprised if it was bad, Mine have ground up bearing cages into little pieces, still going.
