handy1882 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hi All, Does anyone know what this gearbox is out of? Definitely green paint under the yellow. If it's of use to anyone, you are welcome to it as its in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1950 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Could be from something forward control with a transmission handbrake. Is it a 5 speed, any numbers at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handy1882 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 There may be some numbers somewhere but I've not really had a good look, guessing 6 speed and reverse. I assume the rod on the gearstick is a reverse interlock It came attached to an Albion en286 engine which had been used to re engine a trencher so engine and box are probably not an original pairing? The bit of tin on the back is part of this conversion. Certainly looks 40's to 50's, and it is a very heavy lump so must be out of something quite substantial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handy1882 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 It looks very similar to a Ward LeFrance box...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyakyak Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Whatever happened to the Vulcan, did it get sold or scraped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handy1882 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Vulcan is still under progress but has slowed up considerably due to a house move/complete renovation and a baby girl which arrived in October... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooTallMike Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hi, Does it turn at all? If so I'd be interested please but not sure how/when I could pick it up as we're very busy right now in the run-up to Normandy. If you wouldn't mind strapping it to a pallet I could have it collected? For info. it could be Ward laFrance or Diamond T 969. - MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
