Hi there Newbie from Australia

Hi all,

 

My name is David and I live in Rural New South Wales Australia.

I have a Fordson ET6 1948 build with a Flathead V8 which I am restoring to use in my business as a Gardener/Lawnmower and Greenkeeper. I am going to fit a Tipper tray on it and use it for my gardening run. Should be very distinctive. I will be changing the electrics to 12volts and putting a few more modern bits and pieces on it. I will keep the outer facade the same as orginal but the mechanics will be up dated slightly.

I hope to be able to find some bits and pieces for my truck within the people of this forum.

 

Cheers David

Hi David, welcome to the forum. Love to see a pic. or two of the truck, break me in slowly though. Had to sell mine a couple years back :-(. Wish I had kept all the parts books, manuals though. Good job you have there, from a ex. lawn mower service fitter.

Andy.

Hi Andy,

 

Here are some pictures of the old truck, I had to tow it out with my 4wd ute before we could load it onto the trailer.

Hello there,

are you helping to find the lost and buried spitfires?

No, I am not but we do have the only two flying Spitfires in Australia at our Aviation Museum plus the only flying Boomerang in the world.
