Identification

The Model 241 transfer case is a chain-driven, four-position unit providing four-wheel drive high and low ranges, a two-wheel high range, and a neutral position. The Model 241 is a part-time four-wheel drive unit. Torque input in four-wheel high and low ranges is undifferentiated. The range positions are selected by a floor-mounted gearshift lever.

The Model 241 has a two-piece aluminum case containing front and rear output shafts, two drive sprockets, a shift mechanism, and a planetary gear assembly. The drive sprockets are connected and operated by the drive chain. The planetary assembly, which consists of a six-pinion carrier and an annulus gear, provides the four-wheel drive low range when engaged. The gear reduction ratio is 2.72:1 in this range.

Identification
An identification tag is attached to the rear half of the transfer case. This tag provides the transfer case model number, low range reduction ratio, and an assembly number. The information on this tag is necessary for servicing this transfer case. If the tag is removed or becomes dislodged during service operations, be sure to keep the identification tag with the unit.
