The gearbox

 

The box features four forward and one reverse gears. The first three forward gears can be further reduced by a back gear lever for off-road or heavy duty conditions. If tried to engage the forth off-road gear a dog-pin at the gearshift-lever will shift the reducer gear-lever in a neutral position, thus disconnecting the power train between gearbox and rear axle drive. Normal road gears are shifted by foot- or by hand lever. Shifting by foot will also move the hand lever, thus indicating the gear position. Reverse and reducer gears are shifted by hand only.

A rubber damper is installed between gearbox and rear axle drive to absorb hard knocks at load changes.
