Not new to the hobby, but new here and new to the Kaiser. Purchased 67 M715 from auction site and truck was delivered with front axle not rolling, dragged off trailer with chain and tow vehicle. It's not where I can work on it very easily and I'm trying to figure out how to get front axle to roll. Truck does not run, fuel issue, so can't start and put in gear. Rears roll.
Jacked up front wheel and will not budge. Was trying to release brake shoes, but it seems to be much more than stuck brakes. Feels like transfer case shift levers are all way towards front of vehicle. I may try to drag truck backwards while trying to engage and disengage 4 wheel drive.
If I disconnect front drive shaft, will that take the transfer case out of the equation? Is there some thing I can do to ID the non rolling front axle situation?
I'll hang up and listen.
