I broke my locker today. It is a 4.900 ratio one and a bit rare and wondering where to start and why it broke.

Well I kind of know why - the right foot was giving it a little more treatment than I'd like and I had 2 sets of chains on 33's and trying to climb a 30m bank at 30 degrees where only a bulldozer had ever been down many years ago. All well and good but the bank was uneven and bedrock.... = very hard on gear. I winched a bit then disconnected, gave it the jandle then BANG.

I still works perfectly as an open diff, it is not noisy or anything untoward but the locker doesn't work. The compressor runs, dash light flashes then goes solid as if it's in but no, its not.

I have not had one apart before and was hoping for some suggestions.

cheers, Glen

If something went bang then I personaly would be pulling the diff out to check that nothing is going to cause the whole the diff to detonate by something loose getting jammed up in there. I had it once where a diff detonated and punched through the housing

You will need to take it apart anyway and then all will be revealed

i can sell you a log skidder there supposed to have chains on them
