A closeup facing towards myself. I found a cap and removed it, then I stuck the camera in where my head wouldnt fit and took a pic of what is inside. looks like an adjustment of some kind. It looked like an oil cap. no sign of oil tho. Posted by Picasa


One of the "slave cylinders. these are actuated by the levers in the cab. Posted by Picasa


here is a picture of the "rear end" of the nodwell I'm not entirely sure what goes on in there but its some kind of steering clutch brake setup. Posted by Picasa

The nodwell

I got the nodwell today!
Its a model fn60 with a ford straight 6 engine. we actually got it running (it sat for 12 years) the hydraulic clutch works, i'm slowly figuring out the gearshift pattern (its like a 4 speed chevy but upside down) i got it to move forward 3 feet and back 3 feet (under its own power) cleaned up the points and replaced the coil. I didn't have my camera with me today but I will tomorrow.
