after talking to the owner again today I think he is leaning toward just keeping it, but now he wants me to get the speedometer working as well. it does have a broken needle but doesn't move anyway. not sure if I can get it working yet but I'm thinking it may have a broken cable or even problems with the speedometer drive. since it is a 2 speed axle I'm sure there has to be a splitter there to get the correct speed for each range.but I'd be glad to hear any advice.I need to get it back out on the road and see if the axle shifts to high range anyway since I only drove it in low. with the vacuum shift there is no way of telling if it is going to shift or not
