… which one is the gearshift, dear?
Mark
Black knobbed tower on the middle of the floor forward of your right side foot pedal.
Im not sure about the rest of them it has been years since I played with big tonka type toys for wages… but some of these others will be for the feet to stablized the vehicle, others to lift and actuate whatever tool like a backhoe.
You could even have a few like a dozer blade with a attachement in the back or a small crane. But I have a feeling you are dealing here with a tracked vehicle.
That’s what I presumed, but never having operated heavy machinery, I needed a professional opinion. Those are the controls of a machine to spread/shape ballast on the track, it having a plow in the front as well as one on each side.
All the other ones are simple levers, only the mentioned one has the rounded top at the floor characteristic of where a shift lever attaches to the transmission.
One would suspect that the only time you actually change gears is when going from ballast spreading (slow) to transport (fast). ‘Fast’ being relative.
