Following my disastrous retreat from Dunkirk with Doris the Fordson WOT6 I’m still looking for rear axle parts, this is clearly a common problem with the Fordson WOT’s, I now have a useable crown wheel but still need a pinion, I know there machine matched from new but I’m willing to take a chance and fit an unmatched pair, Doris does very low mileage so I’d just like to get her mobile again.

A nice 1943 dated crown wheel, this was fitted to Doris when I got her so she maybe an earlier build than I thought

If any one can help please let me know, I think the Bren gun carriers have a similar rear diff set up but not 100% sure.

 

I know the location of another front axle for a wot6 but it has sat in a scrap yard for over 40 years so could be a waste of time and money but still an option if a pinion can’t be found.
