    Not sure about your machine but think it's the early mechanical system. Look underneath the floor and see if it's connected to a long bar that connects to a lever on the axle. That one has a shaft going inside that engages it. If there is a switch under the floor it controls a solinoid that sends oil to the diff lock. Later Bob
