Re: Locking Hubs

I have a couple of sets of both new style "Automatic" (Warn M242) and old
style "Lock-O-Matic" (Warn M178) auto locking hubs, and they both say
"LOCK" and "AUTO" on the face.

I *think* (going strictly from memory) that either the text in the IH shop
manual or the owners manual may use the language "free" verses "engaged" in
describing how to operate and maintain the hubs... not the hubs themselves.
