Wheel Nut:
I hope the title doesn’t confuse too much, but its a memory thing.Over the last couple of days I have been involved with the UCC Brentwood thread which prompted me to read it again, its quite interesting apart from the bickering.
Scania Vabis. two gearsticks, one worked the splitter, one changed the 5 gears
Scania 80 /110, one gearstick, some had a splitter and some were simple 5 speed. Both lorries used the same gearbox.
NOW
I remember ainacs (RIP) saying, “listen. I have broken over 600 Scanias and never seen a 110 with two sticks”
My first yield in several books on Scania-Vabis is the DS5 (same idea perhaps, but lighter) applied in the L36 since 1968 and the L50
As we know Pat was well known for saying how it was and he did rip a lot of motors apart. Now it appears that the 110 might have had a two stick set up.
I drove a skip wagon for a couple of months, it was an LB86 and it did have another “gearstick” but all this did was operate the PTO for the Multilift Gear.
Which was it?
