Does anyone one have any good pics of the hydraulic rams on either side of the flail mechanism on a Sherman Crab? These rams would be used to raise or lower the flail unit but I can't see where the hoses would attach? Or were any attached and it used a different method?

Do you know these pics ?

Here you can see one of the hoses still in place :

Thanks H.P. Very useful pics there. Any idea where the hoses go through the hull?

On the left side, the hose appears to be connected to the "box" above...
