A simple in/out coupler on the rear drive allows four wheel selection to be used as front wheel drive only and freeing up the 2wd selection of the case to be used as a PTO.

Good point about the weight transfer Les.
The FWD 1 ton was one of the things I was wondering about in the original post. Can you elaborate on the in/out box? Is that something that is part of the setup or an add on? I don't really understand automatic trannys but would it 'hurt' the tranny to not use the rear component?
