    The JATonka fire department brush truck's differential braking system is a third brake with a single caliper. Dual calipers are available. I will check out the plumbing when it gets back. With the air assist power steering (airmatic) and such, a 3rd airtank was also installed.

    Short issue primarys filter come in 2 styles, both with the same nsn. 1 is pleated paper media and the other is a white hard porous material. The second is reusable, but use only diesel or kero to clean it. Using the wrong cleaning product will dissolve it.
