Sounds to me like 7m is the turning RADIUS - that would be about right.
My 109 was terrible until I adjusted steering stops now it is only pretty
bad.

once I put different wheels with more offset on the 110 and machined a bit
off the stops, it was pretty good

there's meant to be an english version and a spanish version, but they
didn't work here.

the above lists a 4-liter V6, not the 2.8 TDi, interestingly; wonder if
that's a local re-engine? The other site makes no mention of V6s.

Sorry Austin I read the "twin splitter" setup in your post to mean the Eaton twin split
which has a four speed main box and two split gears for each main gear no Hi-Lo
like your refering to
so the gear change is:
1st
1st lo split
1st hi split
2nd etc

ar, well, perhaps the one I'm thinking of *isn't* a twin splitter...

On the one I'm thinking of, it goes

1 L LS
1 L HS
2 L LS
2 L LS
....
4 L HS
1 H LS
1 H HS
....

AFAIK. Not that I ever drove it on the road, no licence, I just shunted it
around the yard to facilitate loading it.

that tends to be the standard setup on most trucks
main box, range change and split
