Plantters Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 When are they due for disposal?? i want one or more so the 8x6 drops foden or scammell Witham had one of the fodens for sale a while back. It was a runner but incomplete. Some of the hydraulics had been removed and most of the recovery gear was absent. Even in that state they were asking nearly 2ok for it if my memory serves me correctly. I was interested but wanted to hang on for a Crusader. My patience finally paid off!! As for the 8X6 DROPS Witham currently have a Leyland Daf 8 x 6 in direct sales and were selling a couple of Fodens in the most recent Tender Auction. They may not have sold so might be worth a call to Graham up there to see what is left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrtcrowther Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 On stop at the mo due to lack of funds:cry: will phone the man with the big Foden and see if he's got a spare oil pump when funds pick up. Still got lots to be getting on with like wiper motors and brake adjustment fit some lights and tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil munga Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Saw this 6X6 recker yesterday morning heading towards Catterick Garison see these quite often , the ones to look out for is the big oshcosh ( spelt wrong ) , Did the millitary use the smaller cabed fodens , think they nicknamed them mickey mouse cabs ,, During the 80's northridding garages ( part of tilcon quarry group? ) used to have a contract refurbing the fodens and remember the bronze diff wheels that they used to change ,, the diff oil used to come out like mustard ,, also remember a foden recker that was waiting for a cab because soldiers had thrown camo netting over it , it caught fire :nono: i was driving so these pics not so great , the one getting a lift was a leyland ,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthecorner Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 About 12 years ago, in one of the sheds at the washdown point by the control tower at Long Valley was an civilian registered wrecker, exactly the same as the Foden, but with a Scammell S26 cab.
