IMPROVED BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR DISPATCH-TOW MODELS
NEW TRUSS RODS
A new improved rear brake assembly and a new truss rod for the rear axle of Indian Dispatch-Tow models has just been released by the Engineering Department for installation and distribution. This new equipment can be installed on all Dispatch-Tow units from 1934 to date.
The new brake is larger in diameter (81/4″) and uses a special band assembly. New anchor supports are provided to make the brake quiet and efficient in operation.
The purpose of the new truss rod is to strengthen the rear axle unit and prevent deflection due to chain and brake pull.
Beginning with Dispatch-Tow, number DT 154 and up, all 1938 Dispatch-Tow units are equipped with these new truss rods. (Dispatch-Tow, number DT 146 is also equipped with the new truss rods.
Beginning with Dispatch-Tow, number DT 161 and up, all 1938 Dispatch-Tow units are equipped with the new improved brake assembly.
It is desirable that other Dispatch-Tow models in the field be equipped with these two assemblies. For a limited time, we will offer the conversion parts listed on the next page.
