The engine and gearbox are under the sheet, tucked below the body and as for March, you will just have to wait and see !!!!!

As requested some more pictures:

The F60 tucked up in the workshop.

Some of the parts unloaded and the rest still to come.

That will keep you busy over the next few months

Looks like an interesting handbrake lever in photo 5? Almost like the one I've put on the Chev

Yes, Just done another hour unloading and still not finished.

Just found the 2 brake bands in a box, one for the handbrake the other for the winch.

Its not surprising that the loader dipped as the LAAT came off, breathed a great sigh of relief !!!!

James,

What ho, you keep hauling them CMPs in like a fisherman in the salmon season

Looks like the ex-Rob Nixon F60S LAAT, I know of one or two of his other former restoration projects for sale here in Holland.
