Guys, the 88 Brumby has a faded sticker adjacent to the 4WD lever, for the life of me it doesn't make sense, can anyone decipher?. Forward arrow with the letter L, Rear Arrow with the letter R, centre circle with the letters Lo, Right Arrow with the letters Hi, Left arrow with letters PASS. . My understanding is with lever fully forward we are in 2WD, at centre in neutral & fully rearward in 4WD. What am I missing & WTF is Pass?

Wooster,
with the lever fully down you have two wheel drive, first click up is 4WD High, next notch is NEUTRAL and fully pulled up it is 4WD LO.

did look for an image from google but not found a clear one yet.

There is no neutral. Here is the sticker from my wagon, though the plastics are actually out of a brumby.

On a Brumby it's actually a sheet of alloy with printed artwork - not a sticker. The clear coat crumbles with age, but if you polish it lightly the clear coat will come off and it will look as good as new.

I got one of those stickers new on Ebay from the US ages ago, probably a repro but looks identical. Can't seem to find them now though.

Is that even the sticker Wooster is talking about? Where does PASS come from?

There is in fact a neutral between high and low range 4wd, otherwise you'd have to completely stop to change between the two.

Thanks guys, the sticker is completely different to the image posted by Subdoug. and if I could work out how to post and image I would. PedroJ the action is exactly as you say,. I am 100% confuised with the sticker as I have no idea what the Left arrow and the word Pass means nor the Right arrow with Hi

i think his sticker has fallen from the combo switch steering column as it has 'pass' on it almost as if 'pass' is the flash function of hi beams when pull ticker lever towards you for a temp on of hi beams to say to traffic in front ok to pass ?? FIIK!

I've uploaded the images to my profile, still trying to nut out how to add to this thread

As Steptoe said, it looks like it's for your blinkers, not your gearbox..

Cheers

Yes, thats the indicator instruction sticker .

It's telling you that up indicates left, down indicates right, back is high beam, middle is low beam and pull for 'pass' (flash to warn you're passing).

Low range lever works like this. All the way down FWD, first click (detent) up 4WD, a bit more and its a neutral (so you don't manage to engage high and low range gearsets at the same time causing complete gearbox failure) next click up is low range in 4WD.

Cheers guys. Sorted
