[AT] Locking a differential

[H. L. Staples]

I am sure there is a way to defeat the differential, perhaps by a
strategically placed bolt or by doing a bit of welding.

The tractor would move forward in a straight line or in reverse in a
straight  line without placing undure stress on the drive line and tires. 
If you should want to turn then one of  tires would have to skid or
mechanically break some of the internall compontents. 

The mechanical arrangement on the newer tractors for locking the
differential is fairly simple, but adding something reversibel to disable
the differential action might be complicated.

What do you have in mind as a reason for locking things up ?

Is there a way to lock the differential on a CA Allis-Chalmers tractor? I
mean a permenant lock so both axles will turn all the time. I have looked at
the insides of a differential before , but didn't try to figure out a way to
lock one up. Didn't have a idea like I have an idea like I am having now at
the time.
