Sure not much ID on the map, Paul.
) Now THAT is being in the middle of nowhere.
Interesting to see the brake wheel and rigging is part of the door. You would think that wrapping on a good tight brake will put a lot of strain on the hinges.
Yes, the hinges certainly would have been compressed with a snug application. Also interesting to note is that the brake rod has been disconnected at the clevis pin to allow the door to open for work. Can’t remember if the wheels of the road repair car were chocked, chained, or otherwise blocked. Yikes!
Yeah, I noticed that the little stirrup is missing its pin. You read my mind about the wheels needing a couple of wood blocks.
I’m very amazed how the rigging over the truck is so similar to that used in my Dads photo. Obviously a system that works very well and did not need much refinement over the years.
