antarmike Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The other firm, famous for shortening matadors and converting them to timber tractors was A. K.Cooper. Their trademark is the removal of the original Turner winch and the fitting of a Unipower winch in it's place. Here are two of their products.

N.O.S. Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 There's something special about a bare Matador chassis with original cab and timber crane - they just look right for the job! Is that the one still used occasionally by Garnham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
