Hi all
Another field trip resulted in the following discovery. The location will have to remain undisclosed as the owner prefers privacy. Bob

And Finally Some Landfill
There were many of these lying around including one pristine restored one but that was too awkard to photograph. Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Interesting finds, Bob
When I first saw the orange Ford I thought you may have discovered a long-lost ex-Ringwood Timber yard crane, but on closer inspection it looks like they're separate trucks, although clearly to the same design. The one from Ringwood I photographed around 1972. It started life as a No9 gun tractor, and I suspect the one you have found would have been either a No8 or 9 as well. You can see the rear and roof of the cab has been fabricated on both trucks. Looks like a spot the difference doesn't it? There are many detail differences, the most significant of which is the Ringwood one has the lifting flanges on the hubs. Here's a composite of both:
