I haven't seen any answers to your question. Has anyone given you an answer?
I'm just curious, but how did you get the rear wheels to spin. Were they
buried in mud up to the differentials? I was told that the front wheels will
engage when the rear wheels lose about 5 to 7% power. I'm not sure if this
is true or not. I'm not even sure mine will engage, because I've never been
in a situation where I needed 6 wheel drive. The front wheels are engaged by
a sprag gear in the transfer. When there is enough centrifugal spin from the
rear wheels, it forces that sprag gear to slide in a shaft and engage the
front wheels. When the rear wheels slow down or stop spinning, the
centrifugal force is minimized and the front wheels disengage. The only
thing I could suggest is to go to the local mud bog competition and get
stuck real good and try again. (Mental note: make sure there's a recovery
vehicle there big enough to get you unstuck.)
