Simon Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I know it's a bit late now Pete, but as I recall, didn't they taper while still on the trailer bed - ie they didn't overhang at the back...? Looking good though mate, be nice hauling off a UH Senator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good though mate, be nice hauling off a UH Senator... can not remember to be honest simon its been a long time and can not find any pictures of them this is my prototype so its not to late to rebuild properly. do agree it would look nice next to a senetor. They had early dominator can not remember no and they used a 250, 699 and 2 135 mf's. There was a 2620 which had a accident with a drain and that was replaced by there first 4wd tractor a 290 with a loader, good old days :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got caught short on that one a bit..... think my boss was outside on the phone watching me draw trailers through the window.... \ :D It's been a long time since I saw one, and I would only have been a kid but I thought that was pretty close...

jdc Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Fashionably late with this reply. I cut ours up a couple of years ago but here is the tail section upside down on the scrap pile. Sorry about pic quality, hope you can get the gist of it. It used to overhang the weeks 3 ton trailer by about 18" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
