Hair Bear Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Don't know the history of this one but appeared in our yard around the time of the release of the FC1174TW. Could possibly have been the old demonstrator. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 844john Posted September 16 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 16 Some progress seeing as it’s rained all day! I’ve changed it slightly as I’ve decided to do the updated version with the roll frame, stepped engine cover and extra radiator intakes under the cab. I’m also making the wheels removable so that I can swap between thin or wide depending on what job it’s doing 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Looks great mate. I remember seeing photos of a whole fleet of them fitted with goose dump trailers on a 5th wheel on the neck, then later replaced with the newer style in the china clay quarries in Devon and Cornwall. I will have to see if I can find the photos 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Agri Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Would have loved to have seen them working at the time but not that old 🤣 I think it was WBB that ran counties and ECC that ran Muir Hills and dumpers could be wrong 🤔 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
