I would thing the hydralics on there must be worth something. Pretty nice looking cylinders.

Since I ran it, I was able to hear which motors spin when doing what.

The smaller motor on the upper left is the power steering. It spins up when you step on the dead-man's pedal.

The bottom motor is the wheel drive.

The biggest motor, up on top, drives the pumps to raise, lower, and extend the forks.
