  1. Yes it is the dump Deelen in the Netherlands. Lots of canadian equipment. It seems that they have buried a lot there too. Broken vehicles but also lathes and other equipment.. They made holes with bulldozers shuffed it in and the aera was clean again...
  2. No i wasn't suggesting you did it. You will have your work cut out putting that right.
  3. Nice, it will get heavier with any time you bolt something on to it. We did lift heavy things at the local industry museum on unorthodox ways too. For example a forklift with a long beam of wood in the back with some people on it for counter balance. 😉
  4. Nice the upper tractor has some arabic script on it.
  5. French army truck with a strange little tractor and a gun.
  6. Dash is great, the driver will not be distracted by the amount of instruments 😃
  7. To ad some to that story on the other side of the house in the edge off the forrest the americans had some piper cubs stationed for the artillery. We did some metal detecting there and found a jeep sidelamp cover and some flattend food tins. 😉
  8. I am not shure but as far as i can remember it was completely rust covered. The strange thing is the nearest British troops were some 10 kms away. Our region was liberated by the Americans. In a field oposite my grand parents house there were some US howitzers stationed for few weeks that shot into germany. The force from the blasts did damage the front door.
  9. One of these tins was left after the war in my grand parents chicken hut....together with an american wooden ammobox with rope handles. But the last was very rotten. The metal one must still be somerwhere in my cellar.
  10. The front wheel looks very much like that of a 1929 GMC truck, but i can't find any picture of a six wheel GMC prior to the famous wartime model. But these have other wheels. But in the 30s there were lots of firms that converted 4 wheel trucks to sixwheelers.
  11. Did see this at an local oldtimer meeting today Volvo 4X4 with lateral winch. The cable could sort from the front or the rear of the truck. One half of the windscreen could be opened. Stange way of mounting it on the vehicle. Also the square tower for a machinegun mount look strange on the nice rounded body.4
  12. Same model was build in Germany at the time..
  13. Looks al bit like the hooks and straps they use on supermarket trolleys they use to bring the goods in from the trucks.
  14. Schiphol Amsterdam airport firebrigade had several of these tractors. Don't know wat has become of them.
  15. I know it's not military but does anyone know this Jeep. The pictures come from the vendor and he thinks it's home made. But if i see the stencil sprayed decorations i think it was factory made. It's made of wood and some 40 cms long. It will need some restoration. I couldn't resist it. I bought it in Belgium.
  16. The "plough" has castors it seems so small things would pass under it??
