Transfer Case
 
As I am ignorant about these things and so much more, is that a Ford case in the Novermber 1940-dated page please? Or GM?

I'd have thought it was a FORD case as it is pictured in a FORD service bulletin! :note:

The Bulletin does not specify the origin, design or manufacturer (Timken, McKinnons, etc) but deals more with "This is how it works, this is how to fix it". The cases are identical inside and it is just a casting mark that distinguishes the two "Brands" of case.

Cases
 
Regrettably Fords used McKinnon-built transfer cases, especially in the 1940 Model year production, as Windsor Axle Plant was not equipped to build them, whereas the St Catherines plant had the benefit of GM licences. :salute: Of course the initial intention was that say Fords would say, supply cabs for both companies and GM other components. However this was abandoned as impractical pretty rapidly. :teach:
