The auger on the back
that will drill a 20" hole 7'6" into the ground for a telephone. It has a
winch
and derrick to stand the pole up so that it can be lowered into the hole.
The
auger is driven directly from the motor thru the truck transmission, the
xfer
case, an aux transmission, a chain, then into the housing with 3 spur gears
up
to the clutch/brake packs connected to concentric shafts driving concentric
ring and pinions driving another set of concentric shafts driving another
set
of concentric ring and pinions then into the auger head. Can you follow
that?
I have diagrammed it below. It is quite the 'mechanical marvel'!! Better
yet,
it all works! It is a bit 'well used'. It also has a lever on the auger head
that can be engaged to operate the worm gear that raises the derrick/auger
to
the vertical position. The truck tranny is put into reverse and the lever
engaged to raise the auger/derrick. When drilling, the tranny is put into
2nd
engaged to raise the auger/derrick. When drilling, the tranny is put into
2nd
or 3rd. To lower the auger/derrick, the leveler is engaged with the tranny
in a
fwd gear. The rotation and up/down of the auger is controlled by 2 levers
each
operating a clutch pack and brake pack.
It following is a text diagram of the drive mechanism (if it comes out
correctly...)

The bodies of the WW2 Chevrolet 1.5 ton pole setters (K 43) were similar
to the earth augurs (K44) but not identical.
The K43 had the winch, tripod pole setting gear, and various hatches
including one that let the poles sit up the side of the drivers door. I
saw a K44 augur in Holland which looked much the same, but the rear PTO
was hooked all the way to the earth augur at the extreme rear. I did
notice that the augur was mounted on holes that were in the floor of my K
43 too, so they are probably quite similar.
If you had the manual (from Portrayal ?) you would be able to see all the
gear. I think the only parts outwith the body that were different were
the gearbox PTOs which drove to the rear, and although I've seen sketches
of them with a winch front every K series I've seen had a single PTO
facing the back.
>From memory my K 43 was 9-NSG-7173-10516, but I don't have any images
saved of it.
