There is more. The 209-10 (M44 series, 1965): This manual is more specifiv
about highway towing:
"..transfer case and transmission shift lever in netral positions." AND
"Remove propeller shafts (between transfer case and front axle and betwen
transfer case and forward rear axle).
Mark for proper reassembly etc..
