Protruckservices.com The second one Clive, was it rejected in favour of the Foden 8x6 because of marginal weight capacity on the front end? I believe they were only 10 ton axles.

protruck Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) Hi stal108. If my memory is correct the tyres are Michelin 24 r 20.5 XS. but you would need to modifi the cab wings, front bumpers, cab steeps, rear cab wings, and a higher rated pump. And it makes it 3m wide. Hope this helps. Clive .............................. protruckservices.com Edited June 12, 2010 by protruck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protruck Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi Mike. I can't remember off hand if the 8x6 foden replaced the 6x6 wide track, but the Dana axle can have a different rating depending on which type of hubs are fitted.The standard hubs are 1S but if you fit X1 hubs you get a better load rating. BUT the 6x6 with the 24r20.5 xs tyres on was 3m wide which gave it a much better tilt angle. but it was over normal road width.:-( Hope this is of some help.

Markheliops Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi all. Thought I would add this to the Foden thread - I have just purchased this from a chap on here - (Bran) a thoroughly nice chap. A very impressive vehicle both in looks and what it can carry - 20 tonnes plus pulling a 6 ton trailer. The beavertail conversion has been done to a very high standard as has the fitting of a Fuller 9 speed gearbox. Other than that it is standard. Bran has carried an FV432 and a Ward La France on the back. I am attempted a trail loading of the Ward tomorrow (Tuesday) at the farm and shall get some pictures.
