Gromit Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 C'Mon Gromit, we're still waiting for more info about this BW transfer box ok, ok! Here are some more pictures for Dave: The info stamped on the box is this: W.G DIV <borg warner logo> MUNCIE, IND 13-06-065-901 W.G is Warner Gear division. Putting the part number into google results in a lot of Jeep forums!!! Nothing definitive other than it might possibly be a 'Quadratrac' transfer box. So, looking up a 'Quadratrac' in google comes up with quadratrac 1305 Looking at the pictures, it certainly looks like it, though we've the 13-06, not the 13-05 Weird eh?

western Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Interesting, maybe a previous owner fitted it after the LT230 went 'bang' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Have you tried contacting Dave Ashctroft? or pointing him in the direction of this thread? What he doesn't know about LR transmissions isn't worth knowing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he's en route Then again, it would appear that it's not an LR transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 WOW!!!! Who knew you could do that!!! BTW, the low range planetary gear is what some people have built under drives out of for both Series and LT230 transfer cases..... http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modules/...sc&start=60 http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread....;highlight=1339 Too bad they only have 2.5:1 low range.

Ex Member Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 So Gromit.... What about the main gearbox? Can you see what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 So Gromit....What about the main gearbox? Can you see what it is? Gromit -- We're about to acquire a new family member, a 1985 110 commercial. It's been retrofitted with a disco 200tdi with an LT 77. in the initial post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 in the initial post LOL, I know that is what he said...but it took him three month to identify the transfer case. Maybe he is wrong on the gearbox. Weird that someone would go to the trouble to custom fit a Quadratrac in the UK. A bunch of extra work for a hard to find and inferior box. It would be interesting to see how it mates up. Maybe they just bolt up... That would be really strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just bolt up... That would be really strange. Ahem, 2 months. To be honest, I didn't look into it properly (till Ralph pushed me ) because the truck is going, the diggers have been driving it about happily and finances for the moment will not allow for an LT230. Plus the bottom of it is manky! Anyway, to keep you happy, I'll jetwash the bottom of it and take some daylight pictures of how it mates up. I don't really care other than we'll need to be able to fit an LT230 back on to it. As you say though, very strange why someone would go to the bother of fitting it.

Matt Nelson Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Quadratrac full-time four-wheel drive system - the transfer case Visit ore info info Visit Novak for info Inside the Original Jeep Quadra-Trac loads of more info here Beware: The Quadra-Trac system needs a special formulation of oil to allow proper friction between the cones and plates of the differential. TCL-1 from Crown Automotive is a duplicate of the factory formula and comes in quart bottles. Two bottles are more than enough to fill a Quadra-Trac that has the reduction unit installed. Also remember that there are two separate fill plugs for the case and the reduction unit, and each must be filled separately. The fluid is very susceptible to water contamination and should always be changed after water running or once a year in humid environs. Really weird to find in a 110- or any other LR for that matter! I could sort of see how one could be put in one over here where the T-cases are common but over there?! WTF? It isn't an awful T case- it was pretty innovative in its day. Full time 4wd with a center limited slip that can be locked up with vacuum for 50:50 torque split F&R. It should have a 1:1 high range ratio unlike the LT230 and LR BW t case. I'd love to know how it ended up where it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
