See here: http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/pts/4891348794.htmlI can't recall ever seeing a direct mounted brake lever on the side of an SM420 before. Unless this lever attaches to one of those rear mounted transmission brake drum assemblies used on the larger trucks. Any ideas? I am curious. tom | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 934 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 934 | ps. not my Advertisement. -tom

My 59 model 3800 had the same lever, attached to an external-contracting band brake around a drum mounted to the output yoke.
