AC rear end positive drive setup questions

Hi, I just bought an AC, B-12 tractor to restore and from what I have read it came with a positive drive setup, where when a wheel starts to slip, the power is transfered to both rear axles. Questions: 1. Did all B-12's have this feture or was it an extra? 2. How does it work? Am I correct in it applies power to both wheels when one slips? 3. What is the cylinder,disk shaped object on the right rear axle between the tranny and the wheel hub? Thanks in advance for any and all help. Ron Frost Kersey, PA

That disk shaped thing on your axle is the differential. The limited slip is two bolts on one of the wheel flanges . These tighten against a nylon bushing on the axle and I believe they should be torqued to 25flbs.

I think all B-12's have the same drive setup(at least mine does, anyways).
