I would put my money on an unnoficial mod to the wipers as the air wipers were a pain and very prone to busting/going wrong, bet somebody else has had a gut full of them and done their own mod!
That’s what it is! The original wiper control must have worn out. Ball valves have the lowest flow restriction of any valve so, if the wipers were slow, this would help.
found one more,early one (mirrors) and nice bonnedet to
Looks like that bit of road carried some heavy traffic back then !

Hi
Great thread, Bill your photo’s never cease to amaze me ! Here’s some pics of one I brought in France,back in 1987,with the intention of restoring her,due to lack of time I sold it to a chap from Stoke on Trent,don’t know what happened to it from there as I lost touch with him
Regards
Richard
That doesn’t look in too bad a shape, wonder what happened to it when you got it home ?

Swerving to avoid a “dodgy” car driver bma.,then he got his wheels onto the soft verge and “over she went” !!! Scania was about 1 year old so I had a new cab fitted,it was too new to mess about trying to re-jig the damaged cab.We put it back into fleet service and it was “A OK”.Cheers Dennis.

It looks like the most common sleeper cab type on LB/LBS 76 was named “S-V 2100”, which is the length of the cab in millimetres. It´s very hard to find any facts about those cabs, especially how many different models they made. The day cab is easier, it came only with one measure of length, 1700 mm./Stellan
At 2100 mm, even the “standard” length LB76 cab was long, by 1960s standards. The “Dutch special” version must have been close to 2300mm. I have just looked at a diagram of an F88, and its sleeper cab is only 1915mm long. The LB110 sleeper was 2105mm long. The LB76’s “bulldog” snout probably accounted for about 300mm. The biggest cab, prior to the LB110, seems to have been the 1963 Mercedes LP, although this is just an impression I get from photographs- I do not have the dimensions. How did the LB76 compare on interior space, bunk width etc. with those other lorries?
