Knew a bloke who fought at Kokoda - the Owen guns apparently made a distinct 'click' when the last round of a magazine was fired. The Japs worked this out and sought to exploit the empty magazine. The developed counter measure was to have a mate waiting nearby with a second Owen, mag fully loaded.

This is a driveline or transmission brake. In the four wheel drive community they are sometimes used as a backup or emergency brake. The reason for being mounted here is if their other brakes fail because a wheel came off taking the hydraulic fluid with it. These braking systems use a hydraulic system (separate from normal braking) calipers or cable with either actuated via pedal or lever. For safety, a cable is preferred.
This is not the best installation, because it is what's called a "pinion brake" being located near the pinion gear. Typically it would be mounted on the outlet side of the transmission to keep it from getting bashed up, however it takes much more skill to do so because clearances to other objects (like the transmission tunnel of the cab) are much tighter in that area. It requires more work, but will result in a better overall installation.

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
