Has a different cast swept front axle to a normal major... I'd put a pound on it being a bit of a rare thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how many were done but like you say Paul probably a rare thing now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the size of company is insane,Guy and his sister sold his last company for 80 million and set up this one , his son Jake used to ride his moter cross bike on a track we had on the farm when he was about 12 years of age , i asked him last night if he could remember it and he said yes , he set up the concrete plant on site because of the ammount he was going to need to do a big part of the yard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 This is the pickup hitch that i stripped down on bank holiday monday as the latches often would not be in right place when lifting to lock ,the spring is tucked up underneath which i found was broken so i suspect thats the problem ,ordered a new one from Does at Framlingham on Tuesday and picked it up today . Not fitted as yet as been on other jobs ,might get done tomorrow if not friday as it talks of being a wet day ,hopefully it will fix the problem 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
