Recommended Posts

after the 526 is the scribble S or G? ???

i thought it was S for special....but a book i have said G and pictured the Loadall, similar to the Britains one, with the 'scribble' but a 520, next to the text :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

I think the original 526 (55) had smaller wheels and got slated for running aground too much, so they added larger dia wheels, put plastic mudguards and fuel tank on, changed g'box ratios and the S was born.

IIRC 525s weren't turboed (85hp ??) and had 2 wheel steer but 526s were (105 hp) and had AWS :)
