Australian CGT mystery

1. Why did the F15A have a different transfer case design from the GT save for the fact that no winch was required? and
2. Is there any relationship between the F15A and M-H case or 'the rest' and the M-H case?

David,

As far as I know the Marmon-Herrington transfer case included a high-low ratio. While this was needed on 3-ton trucks, it was a bit overdone on a 15-cwt truck. I do not know (I only have a F15A parts list) if the 15-cwt transfer case is largely identical to the ones used on the 30- and 60-cwts (e.g. simply omitting a set of gears), or a totally different design.

Now, if Sid used a standard Marmon-Herrington transfer case to start with, would your reasoning be the FGT was developed before the F15A?
