Great War truck Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I have been sent photos of this ex military Fergie tractor. The data plate has the following markings: MILITARY VEHICLE FERGUSON TED20 CONTRACT No: 6VEHS14175CB286 TRACTOR LAND UTILITY 4 X 2 VEHICLE No: 23BY28 CHASSIS No: TED 363288 YEAR BUILT 1954 On the bonnet are the markings MP BW although I have no idea what that means. Can anybody shed any light on its history? Thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anybody shed any light on its history? Thanks Tim Tim, The letters mean Ministry of Public Buildings & Works, who maintained army property. I know of a few more of these army Fergies quite close to me. They would be used for mowing and all sorts of general duties around bases and camps. regards, Richard Edited April 10, 2016 by Richard Farrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 That is great Richard. Thanks. Might there be a card for this one showing where it served or do only those used by the MOD have such a thing? Thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
