Morning all,
Well, well, well, what have we here?
That 'Red' is interesting. Can we have more photos of this one please. Firstly it's a straight rail machine but the real interest is in that it has the RHS front axle pivot which I think is the earliest type of axle and has the steel steering arm which is also the earliest type. But the machine has the one piece rear drive cover (the cowl that the seat is on) which is the later design and the bonnet is hinged above the upper deck arm pivot point which is also a later model thing.
Noticed too the pulley/clutch assembly on the seat. Can we have detail photos of that too? gml and I have worked out that the earliest machines had a slightly different setup here too. Also has the early hand brake setup.
Very interesting machine. Is that a G65 engine? If so, I'm suggesting we are looking at one of the very first G65 machines.
Definitely more photos please.!!!
I'm also mildly curious about the tractor 8 in the first photo as I've not seen that cowl style before (without the white headlight insert or that decal style).
Also, this thing about your time as a technical illustrator.....?
Cheers,
PS and NB!: given that this is a straight rail machine and an early bird my call about the belt size may well be wrong!!
