Hi, I got this towmotor gifted to me, all i had to do was get it running, which it now does.

two issues though, no brakes to speak of ( which isn't a big deal), and the orbitrol is hooped. there must be a way to rebuild these things to get back to the nice power steering that they must have had from new. the machine has good oil pressure, transmission seems to work good, mast is in good shape, so it's probably worth putting a little more work into I'm thinking. any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

serial numbers E62528 PD63 TOW

this is basically the way they are laid out looking at the front of chassis below the windshield and behind the mast. motor is a continental 6 cylinder. my understanding it's an ex-railway unit.IMG_0101.jpg IMG_0878.jpg
