Hi Bill,
The third photo is of an Australian MH if I am not mistaken.

Yes, it is Australian ... actually Colin Anderson's restoration where he attempted to replicate a 'Tractor, Artillery, Aust No.4' (or 4A), which was designed as the LAA tractor. The rear body is one he put together.

Image appears to have been taken at Corowa, in the early years when Col's tractor was still green. That's a much younger Col sitting in the passenger seat with his arm out the window. Don't know who is driving, but Col was always very generous, so it could be any of us!

Interesting to note that the push bars on the front bumper are actually the door stop from the rear of a No.27 Limber

Hi Richard:

Snap..............

I guess we are always at the risk of depending to a certain extent on the identifications provided to us on various websites.

That photo,and some others, have been identified as Australian/New Zealand and Canadian at least in terms of the "generic" Ford MH vehicle.

In any case, if you have some ideas, I would love to see them.

Bill

The cab has been cut down from a full cab model and a new screen built. Rear body is missing the nice round Ford mudguards as seen in your second photo which makes it look odd. Wheels are the same as those on a few Hungarian Ford, Ford M/H photos I have as well as normal civilian type wheels. Rear body is narrow but so are those found on DAF made Ford M/H's.

Have I confused the issue enough now
