I don't know just what kind of locke you have in mind but you will have your
hands full in 4 wheel drive if you don't know how to handle it.
I have a Power wagon that a farmer welded the spiders up on both rears for
in the fields. Now I plow with it what a bear. The NEAT thing is if you try
and steer under power you go straight because all the tires are pulling at
the same rate. I don't know about now but years ago I-H offered front posi
or somthing and I heard it was nothing but trouble because of complaints.
