ST4 Basic Infirmation Required

Hello, i am completely new to Snow Tracs and have just been to look at one for sale locally here in the UK. It is a 1970 ST4 which has a 1.9 VW diesel conversion which looks to of been done quite well. It has a dealer plaque saying it was supplied new by Alexander MacClarty and a plate on the back saying Sweden ST4 00091.

My question is about how to drive, in particular change gear and brake. is it just the same as a car, ie dip the clutch to change gear, will these things free wheel and how do they brake?

On my very brief test drive i noticed that the brake and clutch pedal moved together as if they were linked. Is this normal? If so i dont understand how to change gear on the go as when the clutch is depressed the brakes will operate?

Any idea on how to place a value on it. The tracks and running gear looked pretty good, the front drive sprockets were very good. Cab a bit rusty with the roof corners having some fiber glass repairs.

Any advice would be greatly appretiated.
 
Use a lot of rust/penetrating oil on the pedal shaft to free the pedals.Should be a small hole to put the oil in.. Drives just like a car, but VERY important not to turn the steering wheel while stationary!
 
clutch and brake work on a common axis you will need to free up the sleave that is attached to the brake pedal so that it moves independently of the clutch
