As it turns out it seems that the FGT is not a new sighting to a certain mlu member .All be-it in the 70's
Recognised the old girl whilst looking through Keiths Old Cmp site
Thanks to Keith I now have some pictures of the old girl in it's working history

The old girl will not be exposed to the elements any more
Made a nice cosy hole in the shed for her
Funniest thing is that the sentinel actually helped me drive it into the shed
Definately a good thing when your wife just sees another rusty truck and dosent pay attention to details

Did you say drive? Does that mean you managed to get her running?

And I hope you have MLU password protected.

Unfortunately not running as yet
Having trouble with distributor ,coil producing spark but not being distributed. I will grab another cap and rotor shortly and see how it goes

I had the FORDson pulling initially with the kids steering -They had a ball with that ,then when it got closer to the shed changed to pushing while the wife steered it in -she even had a smile on her face at the end

I am sure my run of luck with the wife will abruptly come to a horrible and gruesome end as it usually does very shortly -I just cant help pushing my luck

You see, that's where I went wrong. I made the mistake of educating Jo, and she can pick 'em... Why didn't anyone warn me about this a couple of years ago!?
