Hello Grant,

Thank you for the tip. I will take the cover off and see what is underneath it.

It was a farm vehicle too with such things as the under seat petrol tank replaced by a side mounted under the tray rectangular fuel tank - with the farm name on it. A wind up spare tyre holder underneath the tray which uses two gears one which has a handle on it.

So how old the modification is could be anyone's guess.

Kind Regards
Lionel
