I think there is a C60X at Emu Gully.....maybe one should ask the owners if the tanks are original and what is their capacity. A good discussion point nevertheless!

Rod, here are a couple of pictures, one in Canada, one in Australia of C60X clearly showing 21 gallon tanks as fitted in the factory, complete with the guard as the gun tractors used. The only difference between these and the gun tractor tanks as Euan pointed out was the filler neck.

Canadian



Australian
