Hey everyone,
I'm working on a 1966 Ford B600 Bus that had been previously converted. When I first drove the bus, I noticed a push-pull type of switch on the stick shift for the manual transmission. When I moved it, it appeared to do nothing. Upon further investigation, it appears something was happening, due to the fact that it would dim the headlights and draw electrical power. I finlly managed to trace the wires to this device, and discovered it was connected to what appears to be a small motor and gear box that's attached to the rear axle on the driver's side of the drive shaft. It has markings indicating that it needs to be lubercated seperately, and seems to move only once when switched. Pull up un the switch knob, it moves for 2 seconds and stops, push down and it does the same thing (presumeably in the opposite direction). I've thought long and hard about what it does and why it's there, but I'm drawing a blank. Does anyone out there have any insight as to what this mystery device may be?
Thanks in advance
