It has a np205 behind a sm465, truck 4 speed manual trans.
The truck is not yet running, and I am trying to test the transfer case. As far as I know it worked before.
Am I misunderstanding how it is supposed to work? What am I missing?

In nuetral I believe the 205 is still locked in 4x4 correct me if I’m wrong.
*edit I was wrong!
I rebuilt my 205 last year and if I remember right All neutral does is unlock the input shaft from the rear output shaft but the front output shaft stays locked to the rear output shaft AKA 4x4 so with the rear tires still on the ground the fronts won’t turn. Put it into 2 high and your front shaft should unlock inside the case. Clear as mud???
It’s been a minute since I messed with mine sorry I got you pointed in the wrong direction.
