G'day All, Gee it sure is a mechanical nightmare with 4 wheel steer to boot, and I would agree I doubt very much that it would have been taken to the New Guinea area and bought back, still an oddity and a rare one at that cheers Dennis

Interesting drive system, drive shaft to each hub from a central gearbox, independant coil front end and single leaf rear (forget what you call that set up, but I have only seen it used on the front before).
I believe Sir Humphrey woild have called theis design "very brave" How many reverse gears?? Rich

Mike, that was the one which I asked you if you knew of it, about 18 months ago.
Owned by Alan Blackwell of Drouin. Rick

yes
Yes Chris , that's the same vehicle .. I recall the funny narrow chassis and the 4 wheel steer setup. It is RHD as well.
I should have taken some pics .. oh well. The earlier pics of it taken around 1950, on the farm , show that it was virtually intact then, with its original body. From memory, there was a good article on them in Wheels and Tracks ... I wonder if the present owner knows of the w&t article. Yes Rick, thats the guy from Drouin . Reverse gears ..Hmm won't get into that one. Mike
