NIGEL FORD Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 The trailer is one of a few we had made by my cousin J H FORD that any contractor worth their salt had in the area. Although described as a "9 TONNE" we had a 12 ton join the gang at one farm by a national mfgr that held less. The rocking beam stub axles are 3" diameter on greased bushes, as I've said before we looked at several other makes before we bought and found 1 & 1/4" was the next biggest down and the floors not so thick either and Johnathan's still at a better price. The 7600 has a later (black) exhaust and cut-down air intake pipe plus "Rubbolite" replacement (black) indicator units aswell as a 7610 ribbed engine and Schindler PLK 4wd axle that has angled-back half-shaft housings to not only reduce the wheelbase but allow the inner wheel, when turning, to turn tighter without stressing the universal joints, both of which give it an excellent turning circle. This was the axle that was also fitted to the 8100 & 8200 4wds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Unusual to see a UK outfit matching a 7600 to a proper sized trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 great pics nigel where was or is the farm The FIAT-ALLIS is at BEECH Farm, Battle, Sussex(one of my landlords' main farm) in the asbestos building and at Fairlight Place Farm east of Hastings up on top of the open clamp (one of 4 big clamps-we often did 3 cuts there), the load of grass is at "home" (then...probably about '91): Kingswell Farm where our family were for 51 yrs before getting out in 2000. One has to go through Kingswell to get to Beech, though fortunately not right through the buildings. The google earth pics are several years old that I looked up a few months ago.It's just to the North West of Battle town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
