Hi all, yes it is a wiles cooker and is complete so I better start an outdoor soup kitchen. The truck is just about rust free with all tipping mech still there but just has a very bent tail shaft. He gave me the tyres for nothing Have to do another load today.

I have a feeling a lot of gun tractors were made into cranes like this. I've also seen the elusive F22 version Hanno is interested used in this way too, so if it happens to have the data plate on the dash this could be interesting.

It's probably been said before, but I suppose one advantage of gathering green machines is that hopefully our faces blend in with our backgrounds when we read threads like Colin's..

This little fella is really good. Not sure what type of tray but its original. Its even still got the fire extinguisher in there and the complete unseized engine. This is definately for the resto line.

Not too sure about the originality of the rear body... there weren't too many timber body variations on the Australian CMPs. There was the one on the Fire tender but that was on a C15 chassis and the GS (Aust) No1 was similar but both were shorter at the front to allow for the spare wheel carrier.
But what a great find... I'm sure you'll have it running in no time.
At this rate even you're going to start to run short of space!
