Holden Industries also made the EET trailers. I don't know if they are any differences between manufactures. The current Holden model is an MTO20A1 the TM has been uploaded to the manual upload thread.
I am not sure how the front drive shaft is engaged, but I recall it can be manually engaged at any speed. That makes me think it is an actual clutch disc rather than a gear engagement. If it is a clutch with friction surfaces, it would rely on hundreds of pounds of force supplied by the piston...
Recently, I obtained a M929 dump truck and quickly realized that the front drive shaft was never engaging. I could hear the engagement cylinder moving when I actuated the low-range auto-engagement switch. Somewhere on this forum I had read about the piston being installed backwards in some...

The one big thing that electronic communication lacks is personality- I did drop the screwdriver bit in the engine, and I did get it out as described (it is not hypothetical).
I was thinking hard about what to do when I did a silly thing like dropping screwdriver bit down in the engine while setting the valves on a NHC-250. An obvious idea is to follow it down with a borescope and retrieve it, but a screwdriver bit will fit through passages smaller than many...
