Photo's for Rob Pearce
Gday Rob
Drive photo's of spreader as promised. Photos start at the Back of the trucks gearbox a cog has been put onto the trucks tail shaft as a power take off for want of a better term. The photos then head towards the back of the truck. Single speed gearbox to engage/disengage drive to the spreader box.

The single speed gearbox is eng/diseng from the the cab. You can see where the shaft comes out of the Cab to the Gearbox lever.
From the shaft underneath the Chassis another sprocket connects to a chain which drives the transfer case in the middle picture. Another chain runs to a large spocket at the back and this runs into the spreader.

A couple of removing the spreader from the truck.
Incidentally, If anyone wants it they had better let me know ASAP. Otherwise its going to the Scrappies TOMORROW. Let me know TOMORROW MORNING 10am at the latest or she'll be gone. Ive got no where to put it, so I cant keep it & every Cocky I talk to says its no good to them.

Thanks Tony, they went to a lot of trouble setting that spreader up when a bedford wheel cog would have been all they needed.
Those old spreaders are too hard to maintain compared to the modern ones, they have a lot of moveing metal parts prone to rust.

I can tell Bob didn't use the 1/4" x 1" joiner strips between the boards. I didn't realize that it would become so noticeable. I think the box that I posted with the open wheel wells looks more like an army truck. The straight sides like Bob's have more of a farmer look to them. Just my personal opinion mind.

Its all about finding out
Gday all
Keep it coming David, Bob, Hanno & anyone else - info & opinions....... its all welcome. After removing the spreader (Moment of silence for the 60 years of hard work its done) I noticed a couple of things. See photo's I suppose I'm not that sentimental after all as I still sent the spreader to the scrappies. I did however receive 30 pieces of silver* for my trouble. Now back to the Photo's. The last one is obviously the convoy light that shine onto the diff. (very pleased that was still there) The switch I suspect may be an original fitment as well. Im guessing this but the two little badges above and below the switch look very Blitzish** to me *90 dollars Australian **Adj/Like Blitz, bearing resemblance

Electrical bits
Yes Tony, that is indeed original and usually missing. The little plates say "red" and "white" and it's used to switch to blackout convoy lighting.
