Double brakes

Good day Gentlemen,

About half a year ago i went to "my" breaker,to purchase a gearbox which i needed for my project Dexta.
I ended up buying a rearend too,and while talking tractors he showed me another Dexta rearend he had,and this one had double brakes on each axleshaft.
Four sets of brakes on one Dexta.
As it was just a rearend i could not figure out how it should be connected to pedals and such.

From time to time this picture pops up in my mind,and so i would like to ask you guys:"has anyone ever seen such a Dexta?"
Should i go back and buy it from him?

Greetings from Holland.
Rob.

That would be from an industrial Dexta. One set of shoes is hydraulically operated from a single pedal for both sides, the other set is mechanically operated by the handbrake lever.

You may even find that it has a speedometer drive from the rear axle.

Ah,pity it wasn't complete then.

Thanks for the info Brian.
