1941 Fordson WOT 2H truck. After 10 years

[jack neville]

Ten years ago while restoring my Fordson WOT 2H I found another one on a farm in Amphitheatre, Victoria. I had only lived in that town as a kid till I was sixteen and never knew of the vehicle, it always having been shedded and only used a couple of weeks a year by the owner Lenny Bird, a farmer, for spreading superphospate on his farm. I got access to the vehicle to measure the tray as I didnt have a tray on my truck. He dies shortly after and although I had one good WOT I tried to buy this one. the family had plans to restore the vehicle blah blah blah..you know the story. It sat in the hayshed for ten years as I watched all so slowly getting worse. Luckily it was protected from the rain but you all know what the elements gradually do. I recently wrote the family owner another letter and got her at the right time and she decided to part with it. It is missing a few parts which I luckily have left over from my last WOT restoration which can complete this one. We dragged it from the hayshed and trailered it to my nearby property. There was about four inches of phosphate and jute bags and timber covering the floors and the super spreader is still attached. It has one half of a WOT 2D model windscreen fitted which will be removed. I have a WOT 2D, or most of one that can be restored so I need another half. (anyone??)
