And lastly this hose with all the clamps on it above the the brake peddle, it blows like a fountain when ever i move the rear arm, i put 3 clamps on it & no better, i'm going out now to try & get the hose off and see if the metal pip is cracked.

For the leaking hose problem; chuck those useless radiator hose clamps away, and use these bolt-up style hose clamps ..
The knob alongside the seat appears to be the foot brake latching mechanism.
Depress the brake pedal and pull the knob up and this should operate a toothed latch that engages with a toothed rack on the pedal mechanism, to lock the brake pedal down.

I've pulled the hose off & will go tomorrow to try & buy enought to replace all the stuffed ones & will get those type clamps, the radiator type are pretty useless to easy to strip out when over tightening them.
That gear set up looks right, i didn't get anything past 29 on ya pic..
That knob has 3 positions, lift and turn, the roll pin drops into different hight slots, it has a rod that runs down around the brake linkages as you said, but it's not connected.
Thanks heaps

That part all good.
then one of the high preasure hoses let go, so i went to a local hydraulic specialists with my old man, dropped the hose on the counter & he said shiiiit thats antique, we don't redo them we will make you a new hose & ends, dad (retired fitter & turner) said nup we just want the piece of rubber this is a replacable type, "we don't do em & don't wanna know" #laughing so we walked out with a $13 piece of hose & did it our selves in an hr. good to know when about half the hoses are still the old replacable type

RE: make you a new hose & ends
Yep U did well
todays hose specialits dont make much dough on hoses
th@z why they want to sell U the squashed ends with it
n L8r in life when the hose has 2 B replaced they then sell U a complete hose all over again
they will tell U them ol hoses blo @ the fittings
Yarh right...n wota U think th@ has been in use since the year dot
LOL
we also just buy hoses n reuse the ends when suitable
the 3 nut type end is easy
the 2 nut type U need to put the fitting th@ it marries upto in the fitting on hose n do it F tight n in the vice just screw the center out , this bit B left hand thread

Trev, we make a lot of hydraulic hoses at work for our own use. Every now and then (touch wood it hasn't happened for a fair while), the person who makes the hose doesn't squash (or crimp) the end to the right dimension, or make sure the hose is right in the fitting before crimping, so I am well aware what the hose experts charge to make and fit a hose, depending on what part of Australia that the hose lets loose it is a minimum of about 5 times what I can make a hose for, and in some places (NW of WA and around Mackay in QLD) you can double that and a bit more again. The reusable ends are only about a dollar more than the crimps to buy, but when you are making a lot of hoses, the labour kills the old reusables. We used to use an old plumbers threading machine that had forward and reverse years ago when we still used reusables. The lathe works good as well. When you do them in the vice, I found that you just had to keep going once you started, if you stopped they used to bind to the hose a bit and it took a bit of effort to get them going again. The missing oil reservior cap on your machine is also easily obtainable from a good hydraulic shop, I think it is a RYCO part.
so can you still buy the do it yourself ends???
The tape is over the diesel tank guage that has a smashed glass.

Nixon's in Wagga, or ROC in Sydney would be a good start, you don't narrow it down much by putting NSW as where you are from.
