But it was a super gearbox, the six-speed overdrive from Albion, wasn’t it?
And in case anyone runs away with the idea that all Hydracon did was to bolt a crane on the back of an Albion, there was quite a bit more engineering than that: Most of their models involved almost completely rebuilding the chassis making it stronger and stiffer. Indeed, the heavier ones used just the LAD cab, Leyland engine and Albion axles & gearbox.
