I concur with David's comment regarding the rectangular vs. square opening in the rear of the roof. It does not appear to be original. I also believe this truck should have come with an observation hatch (square or round). If you look closely at one of Hanno's other pictures of the roof it appears that the upper portion has been welded in which would explain the lack of a hatch or hatch opening. It also explains the correct reinforcement ribbing for the roof. My two cents.

Hanno.
Another tell tale WIRE-5 feature to look for is a pair of holes diagonally across the centre line from each other, on the side curve of the upper roof assembly, above the horizontal join, in the left corner. Behind the co-drivers position. This is where the wooden block supporting the signal buzzer would be located. Nice loud buzz in the co-driver's left ear when it went off! David |

Also note the absence of rife holders or corresponding holes. It appears some sheet metal work has been done. Nice truck however and good to one with a wooden box.

I have looked at the picture in full screen and the only guess I can come up with is an overdrive gear. Is this possible?

The vertical lever continues down past the pivot pin and believe we are missing something here. The attachment on the gearbox SAE mounting may only be a selector with detent, the actual item being operated not being part of the gearbox.
Is it possible to see anymore photos?

Not for now, these are they only two I snapped on my way back when I realised I had spotted a (to me) unknown lever.

Following my comment in another thread about possible PTO use on the water tank trucks, both the 200 gallon (on 15cwt chassis) and 350 gallon (on 3 ton chassis) had PTO driven pumps in addition to the hand pumps but I don't think the PTO used matches the one being discussed here. The water trucks used a PTO that had the driveshaft leading to the rear and seem to have had both the engagement control and the control leading to a governor to prevent overspeed of the engine driven pump leading forward.
See the attached PDF file for the general layout of the water pump PTO. |
