Hello Peter,With regards to the PTO activation lever, I am restoring a dodge d60, which is fitted with tipping gear, when I got the restoration it had already been taken to pieces. The truck has the same lever as yours but i cant for the life of me see cant see where it connects to on the pump on the gear box. There is another lever on the top of the pump that you turn, would the push pull lever under the dash just have been fitted as a matter of course, or should it be connected some where. Many Thanks Howard.
