Seriously, I know very little about the thing, except that it was front-wheel 
drive & had a remote oil sump for sure-fire gear lubing on really steep 
hills. Maybe Bo Grims or one of the other Swedes knows. I think someone found 
one in a Euro junkyard years back & wanted to know if anything was useable. I 
think we decided the cases & maybe the mainshaft might work.... Cheers- J
