My point, probably foolish, about the diff lock was with available traction. With the 50-50 lock on, and three wheels gripping, I was pre-supposing you might get enough grip from 3 wheels to haul it out of the hole the fourth wheel was digging.

Revving it up may well have given enough torque to the three gripping wheels to haul it out regardless of what the fourth wheel was doing, but maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe the rear diff did "lock up", and haul the ass.

Yeare maybe it did haul ass as you/they say, us asses will never know. I will asses the problem at the winter dance and might take a fuse with me. Maybe I should strap on a spade to really impress the locals.

Nothing foolish about your point I hope. In any event nothing foolish regarding your theory.
