That  looks a really good set up, I'd wouldn't mind a closer look on how the frame is mounted.

And yes I think it would look very nice sat behind a Diamond T

Has any one got any pics of a crane or winches they use to lift there spare wheel on and off the back of the there truck. My wheels are 1500-20s and a bit heavy to lift on to the back of the Albion I have. Any idears, pics please. Thanks

I think it would be a good idear to go ahead and move it  before some one decides that it would be a good way of making a few quid as the price of scrap is up. Some one may come along and clam it who's not the real owner and before you know it it's cut up and gone. Good luck

Whatever happened to this one? seen here pushing my Marshall in 1984, it belonged to R C (Clwyd) Williams of Ruthin. I think it later went green.

Thanks for all the info on Batteries a local farm supply store found me just the right ones. The old girls up and running again.

But a word of warning with the price of scrap metal slowly on the way up keep an eye on your batteries as theft is on the increase.

The rule , "change the y into i and add es" is applicable ,,
