Hi Tony

Hopefully last question.

In this compilation view, are these levers for the PTO, or for something else such as a 2 Speed axle , as has been suggested elsewhere? (no mention of a 2 speed axle in the LRDG specification, but it does have details such as the rear axle ratio, so would have thought it would be mentioned if fitted)
Earlier you said that a slot was cut in the floor (photo attached of a floor for a LRDG conversion project) that allowed a screwdriver to be inserted to engage the PTO, but the drawings of the parts diagram shows a lever as part of the PTO compressor kit. Did the screwdriver fit into the end of this lever or was there an extension lever up into the cab?

Just seeking clarification.

Thank you for clearing this all up

Those levers are for the Eaton 2 speed rear axle.

There is no "lever" in that parts diagram. The pump has a fixed vertical shaft with a screwdriver slot in the top, and the lower end has a fork. This fork engages a sliding gear. When the shaft is rotated with a screwdriver, the fork pushes the gear rearwards to mesh with both the countershaft in the gearbox, and the crankshaft of the pump.
