25 pounder Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Brought the old lady home , saved it from the torch and total demolition All the components worth saving will be removed and available for somebody in need of those parts , on the bonnet , original registration number and "white star" on the side panel clearly visible, on the dash , original plates still present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormin Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Is that an original tipping gear on the rear? Must be quite rare if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) The hoist or tipping gear as far as I know only used a single hydraulic cylinder for either the Garwood or the Heil systems. What I see is a twin cylinder which would make me think it's a post war civilian conversion. Ready to be proved wrong . Edited July 4, 2010 by abn deuce correct spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25 pounder Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Is that an original tipping gear on the rear?Must be quite rare if it is. No it isn't , it's civilian manufactured , but very solid, with 2 heavy hydraulic cylinders, probably early '60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
