Warn Loc-O-Matics
There`s been talk about these here before.I went up to my mom`s last weekend.She`s down in town now and I haven`t been up to the farm since my dad died a few years back.I went scrounging through my stuff and ran across these.I forgot I still had these that were on a truck I had over 25 years ago.Just thought I`d show a picture for those interested.These hus were the first automatics that I know of.I was running 14.50/37s and these.The instructions say to lock-in for weight hauling and compression breaking.Well,I learned that for anything but a quick use of 4wd,I`d better get out and lock with those tires or they`d grenade.It was still great when I`d get light in the rear on a sloped driveway or any short use.Also,running down the road in "free" and patchy snow I could go in & out without running in "lock".But,when I went 4 wheeling,it was likw any hubs,get out and lock first.Cost me some money to learn
 These were around $150 back in the`70s.Maybe why the stopped making them.I put $49 ones on the truck to keep these(then forgot I had them )...
