Can't engage low range

OK, got it.

But......what should I see happen with the exposed selector shafts?

When I pull the red back, the 4wd drive shaft doesn't move. I've removed the yellow linkage. (I'm in 4 wheel drive now)

Think I need to take the 'box adrift??

to check it put pin and pivot back for yellow knob the 2 shafts wont pivot if you put pin in center small shaft ie when yellow kob is up, pull red lever back outer large diameter shaft should go forward

Sorry, mate, still not getting this.

I'm in 4 wheel drive now, with the pin removed. Which is the same as pushing down on the yellow knob, right?

Sooooo....if I pull back on red then the 4 wheel drive shaft should go rearwards as well and then allow the pin to drop into the hole.

Is that right, as my 4 wheel drive shaft ain't moving?

Keep the advice coming, really appreciated

yes with red lever back refit pin the push red forward outer shaft should go back into housing direction leave pin in pull red lever back outer shaft should go forwards, red lever in forward position ,pull pin up outer shaft should go forward

Maaaate.......you've fixed it!

It's mended!

It will now do all the push, pull, up and downs as expected.

A huge thanyou from down under.

I'm having a beer for you, but ther's one in the fridge if you're ever in the area.

Cheers!

put some grease in cap and use levers every now and then ,better than taking gearbox out ,because ive built so many probably not very good at explaing it ,very pleased youve fixed it

I've put some grease in the caps and used a bit of liquid gasket when replacing the cap.

There was a lot of rusty smeg in cap, so looks like it's let a little water in during its life.

Thanks again, well and truly appreciated.
