Early Series 1 are constant 4wd (not solid, and not differentiated, but with a ratchet-type front axle drive), but the front diff ratio is higher than the rear diff ratio, only by a few decimals, not noticeable on loose surfaces, but enough to cause wind-up on long drives on sealed road surfaces.
Oh, and the neighbors think that anyone driving a Series 1 must be a little odd. |

But this has a 1956 gearbox, so not constant 4x4.

I will go for the yellow knob being down. Once had a call from a guy who bought a Series 2 on Ebay, it was delivered while he was out, he then drove it up his lane and was shocked at the transmission noise. I went over to look at it and before he appeared I noticed the yellow knob was down. When he arrived I jacked up one front wheel and said to tell me when it turns freely, I discreetly moved the transfer box lever and he said it now turns. Then said to him to drive it up the lane. He thought I was a magician as he had no idea what I did! When it had been loaded on to the transporter I guess the driver put it in 4wd.
