I have my doubts about the gear box, but there are 2 types on the Predator, the one similar to your cars, drives the carrier for sure, but I dont believe it powers the rig.. If you read the spec its a manual box, has 8 speeds, 2 lows and reverse, with no mention of a power take off to drive something else like the rig..
The rig has hydraulic motors, and there is a hydraulic pump gearbox connected directly to the engine.. Its has 5 outputs, at least one will be for the rig, and one to the clutch connected to the gearbox..
If its the manual gearbox, and if I have my understanding right, then they can still drill..
If its the hydraulic box, then the whole rig is down, if its one of the outputs, then its more specific like the rig, or maybe the engines cooling fan...and you dont want to overheat that engine..and that is engine related as lorna put it..
And the engine fan is listed under the hydraulic systems...
And the hydraulic pump gear listed with the carriers mounting spec, lorna said main carrier..
Interview said in the engine, Mmmmm... pump is directly connected,
More interesting is this telegram guys on site contact, a leak ??
