Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

not sure how they rear diff is explained in that situation being that the ring gear throws the rear end fluid up and into the reservoir of the front pinion bearings. The outer wheel bearings would still be fed from the round tube that is hit with fluid also being flushed into them from the reindeer doing its thing. There's really no good reason that the rear diff would be bad unless the front end were jacked up so high that you filled the cover with grease and even then the ring gear would still be throwing it.

The reindeer should handle 75 mph with no problem. Santa travels much faster.

New Holland Cobra?


Maybe the E brake was on?

Towing with front wheels elevated might work for short distances - within a storage yard etc. My '99 Outback (A/T) has a fuse that can be pulled to disable the clutch pack engagement that normally occurs when the ABS system senses a difference in wheel rotation speed. Dunno if later models are wired this way. I assume with the key off, no power would go to the solenoid that sends hydraulic fluid to that clutch pack. Anybody know?

Whatever, not engaging that front-to-rear clutch pack isn't a solution for road towing!

Subaru's AWD fuse on an auto is for using the spare. Subaru used to suggest towing like that was ok, but revised it. Flat towing for manual only (all 4 rolling), automatic, all 4 off the ground if you go over 20 mph. That was 2009, maybe it's different again.

I hope that pic is just for show. That Cobra is too nice to risk any damage to it. I may have done something like that with my classic 60 years ago but too much money in it now.

Agreed you won’t hurt the rear diff by pulling it. People pull driveshafts and pull with the rear diff on the ground all the time. I really don’t understand why you can’t leave the transmission in neutral and pull it but you can’t.

Because automatic transmissions are designed to drive the hydraulic (ATF) pump from the engine end not the output. No pump means no lubrication & bad things. AWD transfer cases have similar issues due to the funky clutch setups. You generally dont have issues with manual transmissions or basic manual transfer cases.

I can about guarentee that the rear dif will not be hurt being towed. We haul wood with ranger trailers and have never had a problem

Note TBN sticker !

Hmmm, both the orange and blue straps go over the top of the patient and do not secure the patient from side to side motion. Better off with 4 tie points to 4 directions.

I think that Tutorial was improperly hauled into those posts.

A manual transmission and transfer case are lubricated by the countershaft spinning, thereby splashing oil onto the input and output shafts and their respective gears and bearings. If they are in neutral and the engine is shut off, the counter shaft isn't spinning due to it being driven by the input shaft, so little to no lubrication is splashed up onto the input and output shafts. The output shaft can't spin the countershaft unless the transmission is in gear.

I haven't been into a automatic transmission so I don't know for fact but Fallon's description makes sense to me.

............I have never had a problemView attachment 595751

I disagree. Your problem is too much weight behind the axle and not enough tongue weight to hook up to the tractor. Or maybe that is your weigh (pun intended) of a self dumping trailer. LOL Jon

That was after unhooking the trailer. Have a couple that is older and no longer can do much from the husband having brain surgery and wife bad back. So they come with their truck to our woods to get wood. We just loaded the trailer as much as possible. Back their truck up to the trailer and load. Had a few other trailers to keep loading

The issue with the FWD id the central differential. The"spider" gear will be constantly spinning. I don't think they are designed to so.

I'd love to see that. In the land of conservative speed limits, at last a practical use for the acceleration and speed of a sports car.

Never saw a license plate on a buggy. Is that an Indiana thing?

Wonder who and how, they maintain the chain of custody.

Not sure. that's why I told my In-laws to specify what tree they wanted, and where they want the tree planted. The family can handle the particulars.
instead of sending them off and worrying about them being lost in the mail

They wouldn't let him continue on an urban freeway. He was so tall he might not clear the underpasses.
