From our mechanic:
"I did not want to pull the front bumper or that front nose, so I stuck my hand back in there underneath the front nose piece and pulled (probably) 5-6" on the plunger rod that goes into the front of the vacuum canister. Then I slid the shifter mechanism over to one side and hit neutral (you'll know when you hit it). All in all, about 30 seconds once we stepped back and used our noggins."
Thank you again for the advice.

Check out the You Tube film showing 810 Cord gear changes.
The main vacuum cylinder sits on top of the gearbox and connects with the gear lever. All you then have to do is pull the lever on the cross shaft into the neutral position by hand.
When the film starts the gear lever is in the neutral position.

We are attempting to push a 812 from our museum and have come to a stump. Is there a way to place the car in neutral without using the engine? There is 6V power in accessory, however the box does not appear to be responding to input. My brief understanding and hasty research leads us to believe that vacuum power is required. The vehicle hasn't been running for about a year, so we would prefer to push it rather than dry starting it here.
Beautiful car, feel ashamed to be so naive about this..any insight would be most appreciative.
