Nope, no clutches or spiders. I kept breaking spider gears and shafts to I went with the locker. Hazards of a manual transmission with a reprobate behind the wheel!

I had 52 binder boom truck I used heavily in the woods. I had to keep a deep supply of axles and rear gear sets on hand. Basically when you chain it, put enough load on it to lift the front wheels on the ground, then dump the clutch in granny, something's got to give. Usually it was the load, but sometimes........
