Lots of interesting things up here! From front to back: The exhaust stack is taped shut. The two (odd for a four axle) dynamic brake fans. Three prime motor radiator fans. one HEP motor radiator fan. I don't know where the horn is, perhaps it's in the cab for installation after final delivery, or maybe it's in another location. |
