Assembly Instructions Machinery Lorry Type KL

Nice. I restored a KL back in the 90s which has now made it's way to the Oshawa museum. I always wondered about the hole in the roof on the left side, thinking they ran the engine's exhaust through there for heat. Your list shows it to be some kind of arctic heater.

The KL was a very heavy truck. That welder unit was especially heavy.

Thanks again, Mariano!

Great info about the SCWE - ref. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=162

There was a guy by the name of Don Bernie (believe correct spelling) in Stoney Creek, Ontario that had one of these trucks. I’m not sure if he is still around or where the truck is. I remember meeting him at one of the Caldwell Convoy weekends. There was also a wartime veteran in London, Ontario who had restored a KL as well and still drove it and used it just like he had during the war. He helped Perry Kitson with his Sexton restoration.

Hi Gordon,

Well spotted!
