That looks like a wartime production 7V as it has the smaller headlamps and mesh radiator grill instead of the pressed steel type. Lovely trucks Baz
-
Anyone else planning on going? maybe a HMVF convoy to Mons? Baz
-
From what i understand a lot of these trucks were pressed into service during the war for many different roles. This one pictured below (Fordson Thames 7V, 1939) that belongs to friend of mine is a pre war truck that was then used by the MOD during the war and then AFS before being flogged off as surplus afterwards. It has since been restored back to the Cargo spec over many years! She is a V8 model, sounds lovely ;-) and cable brakes RULE :tup:

Suprisingly easy to get bits for them to be honest (providing you dont have some early 1900's Indians!) , mainly from Germany or Holland. Some parts are very expensive like crank cases and gearbox casings but the majority of parts are very resonably priced. Many of the Repro parts that are conming through are extremely top quality. Cheers Baz

:rofl: :rofl: Those feet are great! i wish they were original!! :rofl: :rofl: Still got them if anyone wants them? Baz

Finally got round to taking some snaps of the Indian i'm about halfway through at the moment. It was sad in a shed for best part of 40 years before the owner finally agreed to sell it me, after much badgering! Its a very late production 741, probably too late to have seen any action and more than likely went straight to the surplus at the end of the war. I have the original brown log book that dates back to 1949, last taxed in 1967! The bike must have been in the British army at some point as it has the modified rear brake lever, although it may have been changed later? Baz

No problems, my dad towed his home behind a tractor when it broke down in the middle of town a few years back, he reckoned it towed really well. Baz

-
yep, you cant rev the engine at all when the clutch pedal is down, good job its a semi automatic, most of the time! Baz
-
no, not on the A1's anyway, they do have a throttle lock when the clutch pedal is down, which is a bit confusing the first time you drive it! as you cannot move the throttle! Baz
