Extra Shifting Lever in CJ3B
I'm looking at a '53 CJ3b . It has a "4th" shift rod between the Transmission shift levers and the Transfer Case shift levers. The owner "thinks" it's an Overdrive . Any thoughts? Thanks

- '67 CJ5A Tuxedo Park, Dauntless 225 V6, T86 trans, Spicer 18 tc, D27 front, D44 rear, 3.73:1 gears. Pretty much unmolested mechanically.
Daily driver is a 06 Durango SLT Hemi.
I used to have a 51 Willys pickup and a 72 Commando.
Sounds like an Overdrive . If you can see the linkage going to a unit mounted on the back of the Transfer Case , it should be an Overdrive or possibly a PTO. They both mount on the back of the Transfer Case .

An old flattie with a Warn Overdrive is a great find. Here is some history from Herm the Overdrive Guy. I use to have a 1947 CJ2a with one and loved it.
