Type of transfer case

https://picasaweb.google.com/111164317615080560328/VMRR?authkey=Gv1sRgCImY1qq3jqmY5QE#5575891296723944386

Anyone make heads or tails of this? It has dual input or output at the top and at the bottom, it's stamped WG. Anyone have any ideas who made it, or what type of transfer case it is?

It's not a really a good picture, hard to ID...the OP's pic, not the one you linked to.

I was going by the WG marking.

Shoot, I can't get your pic to come up on my phone. Could it be an NP 200 out of a Kaiser/Willys/Jeep Gladiator?

It could be, it's definatly the same, but I think the one is taller, the NP 200 is the right type though

The brake drum hiding behind the power output makes me think it is off a heavier truck like a 2.5 ton with front drive maybe? ...turned upside down?

Possible, I'm thinking it's war surplus from something, but the question is what. Its stamped either WG or WJ

I have seen a number of transmission from the 30's and 40's that had a brake band on the output side of the transmission. This was where the emergency brake grabbed on to stop the car.

When you see an old truck or car with a gear shift and and brake lever coming out of the floor together the brake lever went to the brake bands, or shoes, like you see in the photo.

Could this be just a gear reduction unit? Sort of a granny or crawler gear that could be added later?

not sure. It's a transfer case in a power car on a park train. so anything is a wild guess on where the factory got the parts
