Locking hub identification
« on: March 07, 2018, 09:21:10 PM »
Howdy,
Looking for more info on the hubs seen in the attached photo. They are on a Dana 25 10 spline axle. On the narrow rim surrounding the red plastic selector is stamped FR@EE and LO@CK where the @ is a solid dot, similar to how Warn labels their hubs. I see no other identifying marks. I've been getting different answers from various people, so now it's your turn! Looking to confirm the brand, model number, when they introduced and the typical vehicle they were used on, and if parts are still available.
Thanks!

They look like the old Warns that came on the early CJ5's, but the ones I have have a black dial where yours is red.  And the cross-bar on mine is recessed to accept a WARN label.  I can't tell if yours has the recess or not.

No recess on the cross bar but there is a recessed triangular arrow on one end of the bar to point to 'free' and 'lock'. The red color is the plastic and not paint.

Attached is what I think you are describing... it is similar but not the same as mine.

Yes, that pic is exactly what I have.  They are a bit different now that I can see them side-by-side.  I will say this...under that WARN sticker is also a recessed triangle on one end of the dial crossbar.
