ABSTRACT:
In a four-wheel drive vehicle wherein the forward pair of wheels is driven through one differential assembly and the rearward pair of wheels through another differential assembly there is a transfer case through which power originating in the engine is distributed, or transfered, to the two differential assemblies. In the transfer case there is normally a third differential mechanism to compensate for differences in performance between the forward pair of wheels and rearward pair of wheels during on-the-road travel. The conversion kit of the invention makes use of a direct power transfer component in the transfer case at a location taking the place of the third differential mechanism, previously removed from the case. A hand manipulated lever adjacent the driver's seat operably connected to an interlocking element in the conversion kit enables the vehicle operator, at will, to connect power from the power train to the forward pair of wheels and, when desired, to disconnect the power for on/off the road travel.
