Lock-o-Matic hubs....

["The Lublin Family" <lublin@domain.elided>]

Hello all:

Can someone explain to me how the IH Lock-O-Matic hubs work?    I have a set
of them on a Dana 44 sitting out back of the barn.   They look like ordinary
lockout hubs with the dial and all.   I have never before seen Automatic
locking hubs with a dial like that.

Seeing that my '74 3/4 ton 4X4 has a Dana 44 front, would those hubs work on
my truck?    My truck does not have lockouts on the front.   Since it was a
military truck, they ordered it without them.   I dont like having that
constant front end drag.   Seeing I am kinda frugal, I am kinda curious as
to the interchangability of those hubs.   The Dana 44 I have is off a '76
Scout Traveler.

I am still new at IH trucks, so please bear with me!

Thanks
