Steering arm (FIG. 11)
The steering arm is attached to the gearbox by a
steering yoke, which is interconnected with the
clutches that release the track. Move the steering
arm to the right or left, releases the clutch on
respective sides. Moving the steering arm further
to either the right or left, slows respective tracks
and the Iron Horse turns. When the steering arm
is placed in the neutral position the machine
drives both tracks and it then runs straight
forwards. The throttle and brake lever as well as a
stop control for the engine are located on the
handlebars. The throttle is positioned in the centre
of the steering arm. The brake lever is placed on
one side of the handlebars. The stop control is
placed in the middle. The weight of the steering
arm is offloaded by means of a spring which is
adjustable. A diff-lock is also fitted to the steering
yoke to lock and reduce steering arm movement
and to lock the steering for different purposes.
Differential lock (FIG. 12)
The differential lock is used to lock the steering,
so that the machine is driven by both tracks,
irrespective of whether the steering arm is moved
to the right or left. The control is easily accessible
on the bracket.
Gear shift (FIG. 13)
Gear shift has three positions. In position (F) the
Iron Horse moves forwards, position (N) is neutral
while in position (R) the Iron Horse reverses.
F: Forwards
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
