Default Hmmmm

The faded red ? indicates a ex rural fire service vehicle... typical . They mostly turn up in Southern NSW and Northern Vic. as the disposal point was probably Bandiana . As a restoration prospect, depends on how good or bad the chassis is . I half owned two D models and fully owned a H model . They are great for speed on flat roads

The truck sale on ePay fell through.
I checked it out yesterday and have made an offer.
Will advise.
Howard.

Default Wot 2h

It is the Fordson WOT 2H model. I have a restored one and the front half of a D model. Contact me if you end up getting it. I have a few parts left over. They are a very unique truck and quite nice to drive. A bit heavy on the steering side of things with the big wheels but at least they are a variation on the never ending US trucks amongst collectors in Australia. Mine always attracts a lot of attention wherever I take it for that very reason, (rarity not the heavy steering). And very rarely does anyone know what they are. Pretty scarce even in the UK.
