42 chevy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Do you know if this is an updated version of the first version( A Series 3 was on the cover) that is now out of print. John G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemsi Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think you mix it with Vanderveen s W&T no 3. Tankograd hasn't published one so far (when I look at their website)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 chevy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I am at work at the moment, so I cannot look at the publication, it is a tankograd publication that is been long out of print, I will get the publication number and post it later today. It is no longer available from Tankograd, I bought my copy off of ebay several years ago. John G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemsi Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi John You're correct. There was a magazine published back in 2001. Just found out about it, thanks to you. Contains 40 pages, the new TM 8 pages more. I'll contact the author to see what has changed... Greetings Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I feel strongly that the main image on the cover of the new publication should have been without doubt the Series 4 - by far the most elegant of the WLF variants. What were the authors thinking........ :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42 chevy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I recently replaced the wood on top of my toolboxes. When I got the truck, there was plywood on top of the 2 toolboxes, I used #1 pine and painted but I did not like the way it turned out, so , instead I used red oak and left it in a natural finish.

John G Very nice. When I first got my previous truck it had wood on the tops of all the lockers but it was rotten so I removed it but never got round to replacing it. I always thought it would look best in natural colour or with matt polyurethane varnish, but would be vulnerable to damage from equipment being loaded in and out. You'll have to get used to removing the side boards! Is that your truck storage palace behind? - MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 chevy Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mike; If you notice the V tow bar, removing the sideboards made loading that easier along with the rear side pull attachment that is on the other side of the bed. The Mrs gave me a sign for my shop "Garage Mahal" I politely thanked her, however, I told her the garage is what is attached to the house with her 2 cars parked in it, this is the SHOP. The Wards cannot fit inside (they are stored off site) but the Diamond T's home is the center bay. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42 chevy Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I took the Ward to a local show today. It was fun letting the young kids hit the siren button and get behind the wheel and grab the big steering wheel. For fun, I suspended my son's toy jeep from the boom.

Murempi Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 hi all, in response to mr carters request about the ex wynns wrecker number 201, it belonged to a good friend of mine in bristol geoff brown, he owned 16 wlfs, he bought the wrecker two months before wynns became part of united transport and had abrand new gardner 150 engine. geoff used it full time for recovery and winching but it suffered a lot with transmission problems and the fact that it had 1200x20 and 1100x20 tyres. geoff sold the ward in 1985 for 350 pounds and he thinks it went up north.the ward is pictured in geoffs colours and he recalls the the front winch was missing due to the fact of the extra lenth of the gardner engine.i think we can assume that the old girl has been cut up , hope of interest tony g. Hi i took the photo of 201 in 2008 this wagon is very important to me in that as A child during the seventies I used to visit wynns yard , my father was a fitter there and had been for 30 years and had used much of their old kit, by 1978 he was one of only a few who would drive it. I recall him parking outside our house in Magor over night ,I was the most excited kid around,unfortunatlely the batteries were flat in the morning. He has a photo of himself and 201 in newport yard after towing in a burnt out foden on a Sunday afternoon ,he recalls it almost turning over coming down the a449 at the cold ra due to the swing motion of the suspended foden. The missing front winch was sold to magor engineers who fitted it to a six wheel leyland wrecker,which was then grafted to Volvo f88. I recall the day 201 was parked amongst a row of redundant Atkis with the names painted out with red oxide very sad! I tried to scratch it off ,no chance. Obviously it was gone the next time I went to the yard.rumours was that it had gone over the bridge to Severn beach,in later life I travelled over but never found it.by chance I was talking to an old gent at a steam rally and asked about a ward ,he said I know where it is ,a phone call one evening confirmed it and the owner invited me to go and see it .proudly I took my ageing father with me including his photo to view it ,I would love to own it one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
