4x4 issue

hi list
all new to this
i have a 73 4x4 d1310, with some issues regarding 4x4 trans,,
seems to drag and turn and appear to lock up when selecting h4 or L4???
where can i source parts from rb

Dont quite understand what you are saying, Are you putting it in 4wd on the road ? Cant do that with the older 4x4 vehicles as there is no centre diff.

Atkipete is right the steering wll drag and whells will lock on pavement or hard ground as the transfer case is trying to turn the front and rear axle at exactly the same speed, but the front and rear wheels need to travel different distances through turns and over bumps hence the dragging and locking on hard surfaces. In the dirt the slow wheels will just slip a little to catch up.

Plenty of parts still out there, but will help if we know where you are from.

HELLO,,,THANKS FOR THE INPUT

YES IT WAS ON THE CONCRETE DRIVE, I WASNT AWARE IT WAS IN 4X4 TIL I HAD ISSUES MOVING,,,EXCUSE MY IGNORANCE I MANAGED TO GET IT OUT OF GEAR EVENTUALLY
THE SELECT LEVER WAS JAMMED IN FOR SOME REASON,,, I WILL INVESTIGATE FURTHER, RB,
I PLAN TO PUT THE TRUCK ON BLOCKS SO I INSPECT ALL THE BRAKES, SWIVEL JOINT STEERING ETC CHEERS

hi sorry about that, only moved it a couple of feet,
adelaide,,, south australia is the location,,,

Nuther problem could/would B
Unless u have the exact same size tyres front n rear u have gear bind up, where the front is tryn to tavel @ a different speed to the rear
other words
tiz try n to stretch the beast or shorten it
this puts g8 load on the gears n make it hard to disengage 4 wheel drive ( should B east to engage 4 wheel drive , once U line up the cogs by gently release n clutch in gear may B even rollin a little)
Ifn U get my drift
LOL

G'day Indianchief, The stuck transfer lever was more than likely just a case of "wind up" as Swish said. Normally the easiest way to get the lever to come out of gear is to go forward or reverse a few feet, failing that, just jack up one wheel to ease the strain in the driveline.

hi yes, jacked up no issue,, out of 4wd, no probs
thanls for all the answers
i would also like to ask other questions,,, ie is there anyway to check the age of the tyres, whilst they look ok, im sure they are pretty old,,,,
olympic trojan general purpose lug type

i would also like to ask if there is a power steering unit for this truck,,if not what about a conversion from another type of truck ie doge, later model acco of similar

Idianchief,
Not sure about the setup on a 1310 but power steering from a 100 series Landcruiser is a relatively easy mod for the International Scout. Just need to drill an extra hole in the frame to mount the steering box.
