Now for the rear ladders.. I walked over to 663 for this one. They have the same measurements as the front ladders of 1 1/8 and 1 1/2 inch.
On the rear corners we have two of the 1 1/8 inch over the rear steps.
Now back to 664,, this grab is only found on boiler equipped units, and only found on the fireman's side. We believe it was to hook a ladder onto to gain access to the roof for servicing the boiler hatch. It's located on the roof line just past the rear engine room door.
And a close up of the same grab.
