Wire 3 Chorehorse mount
Hi all
I'm hoping to find some more information on the elusive Chorehorse mount as used on the C15a FFW Wire3 trucks.
I've only got a few photos showing this mounting bracket. The cover I believe is on a hinge to allow it to lift up towards the cab door. However the cover is also removable.
In the second picture I have highlighted a couple items. The red arrow points towards what I believe is the Chorehorse flexible exhaust pipe. My thought is that the exhaust would be routed closer to the trucks exhaust vs exhausting directly under the cab floor.
As for the green arrow, well I'm not really too sure what it points to. Other then it appears to be a small box like cover. Could it be a cover for a terminal junction connecting the Chorehorse to the radio batteries via the charging board?
Lastly here is my Chorehorse simply sitting on the cab step. This is the orientation that I believe to be correct. It allows for easy access to the pull start, control panel and gas and oil reservoirs. Yes the fuel fill plug sits out from the edge of the step, however as in the first picture there is a fair bit of overhang of the cover as well.
