John, Forgot to say, the REME Museum has one. To explain first, theirs is on a Bedford QL chassis, originally it would have been on a WOT6, but were rebodied to Bedfords for Korea campaign. It is on display at REME Museum, Arborfield, Berks. and fully kitted with all machinery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 John attached is a listing of the kit installed in a type X Ford WOT machinery i hope you can read it OK Les, The vehicle in question that John is researching, is a Machinery Type M. Different layout and machinery to your data and photo, the lathe is a 5" and mounted across body at the front (Type X has a 7" lathe, mid mounted longways). It already has the fixed wooden bench, witness marks show that it had a bench drill, valve refacing machine and bench grinder. Gen set was mounted in centre of body opposite bench, oxy/acet bottles stored at rear of body both sides. Do you have data sheets for a Type M ?
