ZAU question

[Jack OH]

This will sound stupid but I'm not familiar with MM. Did the Z models all have a hand clutch?

Thanks

The Red Nosed ZT (1937-1948) and the ZA (1949-1952) both had hand clutches.

They went to the foot clutch in 1953 with the introduction of the ZB (1953-1955). The ZB featured a high platform, different steering arrangement to match the operator's position, foot clutch, and brakes under the right foot. The ZA and ZB look very similar, except for these distinguishing features.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I"am not for sure but the ZAI or ZTI might of had a foot clutch also. My RTI has a foot clutch.
