restoration project waterbowser C15A 1943

[Guy Verstrepen]

Hey Grant,
I mean the small hole next to the big hole that is destined for the original winch for cmp's, see red circle on photo.
The pito output corresponds directly to the small hole,
Therefore, I think that this should be the passage for the drive of the power pump or is it driven by other means?

With best regards
Guy

I am at work right now and can not check the manual for the water tank body. I will do this later and let you know what I can understand.
I believe I have posted images from the manual to show the PTO in past but I did not find them on a quick search.

Given that it looks like a single speed transfer case then there is no running it off the Transfer case PTO but of a transmission PTO. Does the data tag chassis model end with a "T"?

[Grant Bowker]

I see the model as C15-44?-MT.
Harry, do you have a listing of what options might be used in the last part of the model code. I have understood M=military, W=winch but this is based on observation - not period documents. It would be interesting to know what combinations exist.

Harry, Grant;
I have a clear picture of the model plate here.
and indeed they ended on MT.
in the book Drive to victory page 113 you will find the following.

M - military pattern.
W - winch.
P - power take - off.
T - transmission PTO.
and there is a pto on the transmission at this c15a.
the transfer case is one with 2 speeds, such as for the c60 and cgt

A scan from the SB-7 manual for the water tank body is attached. Only by memory, I think the PTO would be below the level of the hole in the crossmember. I will look at my C15A to see whether to verify whether I have a similar hole.
