F.A. Gun Tractor

[James E. Roy]

Thanks Hanno! I checked out the oldcmp photos. I reckon my unit is an F15A. It certainly never had an integral body. I wondered if early Gun Tractors had an open body but, now that I think of it, 1940 is not that early. One of the websites that I visited, listed the F15 with 16" rims. The instuction book lists the F15A with 16" rims. The 20" rims are listed for F60S, F60H and the F-GT. A couple of the units that I saw with overload springs had reinforced frame rails too. There was another layer of steel plate factory-welded around the outside of the c-channels. These units are much heavier built than mine; they must have been used for heavy carting. As for photos, the forum wouldn't accept my bitmaps. I have to figure out how to generate a jpeg. I wonder what would have been the different roles for vehicles with 20" rims as opposed to 16" rims?
