Deas - nothing like that machine -- based upon limited information provided in the video, I suspect this truck was a chassis for a blower, the "extra" controls on the right side could have been cable (push/pull) to the blower systems. The person pointed out a control feature on the left front, most probably the governor, linked to the carburetor. Positive Planetary drive on all four wheels would have been a challenge. Front showed what I would relate to the AW Grader and many other drive systems using a "rezepa" (spelling) ball joint, allowing turning motion and full contact power transmission. Waukesha was a very dependable engine, many were used in heavy machines and the gas/oil fields. Waukesha built some massive gasoline engines, largest I operated was a CLIMAX "K" in one of the rotary snow plows. Steady RPM and torque that was delivered through a double disc dry clutch to the blower. Turned 1100 rpm full throttle, no load. I enjoyed that machine, it was not fast but it was quite dependable, direct connection to the blower head provided constant rpm to the blower vs a torque converter which did not maintain rpm. Much easier to "plug" a blower with a torque converter drive that with a direct drive, rpm being key to keep the discharge functioning. Later systems were all hydraulic/torque converter drive to the blower and hydrostatic drive to the chassis, controls much more advanced and in some ways much more difficult to maintain and repair in the field. - cts

Hi, cts.

Knowing a little - a very little - of your past, I sorta suspected that you might be somewhat familiar with the jigger.

Thanks for the extra info.
