J.III TYPE SHOCK DAMPERS ON 40/50 CHASSIS. We should like to point out that in order to remove the off side rear damper it is necessary to remove the battery box. This has come about from the increased length of the bolt securing the new type dampers to the frame. We think the design should be altered to overcome this trouble.
