Left rear tire will not move..

^^ Ditto ^^

Perhaps there was several unfortunate "sequential" failures... but that still wouldn't, necessarily explain the cause/symptom suggested here. I've pulled up a chair & have popcorn on the stove...

Note: From what I remember, this was not a cheap vehicle. One would have thought (from the seller's glowing description anyway) that any pending issues were sorted.

With the left rear wheel raised up off the ground, the other wheels chocked and the transfer case in neutral, can you get the rear wheel to stick again by pumping the brakes for 5-ish minutes (to simulate the amount of braking you did when this occurred the first time)?

What did you find when you removed the left rear brake drum the other day?

How did the hub feel when you spun it with the brake drum off?

Again I ask:

Just drove it foward, went about 5 feet, then stopped.

What does this mean? Did it stop moving forward and bog down the engine, like it was being restrained or was everything otherwise hunky-dory?--engine ticking along or revving away as if there was no load on it?

Was the left rear wheel (or ANY wheels, really) scorching-hot immediately after this happened?

The transfer case lock up due to no oil. I need to replace case. Checking over drive unit of metal, some may have got into it. May need to repair or replace.

Brakes and rear end all are good for now

thanks

If your overdrive is like mine, they have separate oil reservoirs. The overdrive oil capacity is considerably less than the transfer case, so it should be checked regularly. Remember to check all the stuff that holds 90 wt underneath as it appears the previous owner did not. Oh, I got a chance to look at the transfer case darbsclt described and its a beauty! If a bit dear, $$$$.

I wonder if this has the Powerlok rear diff fitted to the NADA 6 cylinder's in 1967. It locking up would cause one of the rear wheels to lock.
Could be 2 systems have failed here !
RN has rebuit transfer boxes from time to time, or a whole new Gearbox/Transfer box # RNC637.

If the transfercase went dry and disintegrated I recommend replacing the unit and not rebuild it. My truck came to me for $350 because it had miles on a dry rear diff and a dry transfercase. I rebuilt the transfercase with all new bearings and seals. The transfercase screamed afterwords. I finally replaced the transfercase just so I could hear the person yelling next to me. Junk the old one & install a fresh rebuild.

Be sure to replace fluids everywhere else as well just so you have a better idea of what you have.

Also the drive flange is on with 6 bolts (28 foot pounds). It only takes a couple minutes to remove the 6 bolts then withdraw the axle. Then you can see if the wheel spins OK without strange crunching noises. If the wheel spins OK, pull the other axle then the diff.

Who knows maybe your truck is like mine was, a dry rear diff and dry transfercase.

My rover is a 6, not 4 cylinder... The writeup for this part states 4 cylinder.. Would it still work?
Also, could fit the landrover over drive to your replacement?

I plan to replace it. Thank you for the heads up on this issue

The difference between a 4 cylinder and a 6 cylinder gearbox is that the bellhousing-to-engine studs and holes are clocked differently. It's a matter of swapping out of your old 6 cylinder bellhousing for the 4 cylinder bellhousing, presuming that the transmissions are otherwise the same (both SIII or both IIA, etc.).

Transfer cases are pretty much one-size-fits-all.

Well here is the update

Pick the Rover up on Friday... It was the transfer CASE.. I had a not check the Oil, and that was bad

Found a used one, had it clean, adjusted, installed and I get the truck back Friday Thanks for all the help on this issue

Just added a new transfer casew cover

Harder materail, and should help with heat build

Maybe the leaks, NOT.

[SafeAirOne]

Nice.

Presumably a cover from Rocky Mountain?

[clearcut]

Not this one

Ahh. I thought they were the same folks.

[Revtor]

And I see their dipstick has also been installed. Keep an eye on it!!! And every other fluid for that matter.

These things are meant to be checked every week or so, it's in their nature. The more you get involved with your truck the better they become.
