Ofcours Brian, here are some more. An other story
is, lots of dirt on the beach. The paviljoen owners
asked me, where are the Canadian immigrants ?

Thanks guys for the nice references about the F60H. We try to promote
the CMP trucks in Holland very much. The nice "Maple Leaf Up" site/forum
from the late Geoff Winnington-Ball is an excellent good help for any one
of us who like the Canadian trucks. Our common enemy is "time".

Nice to see the first goodies have found their way in the cab; did you make the new wooden (lower) rifle holders?

Dirk, why did you decide to swap the Indian(?) tires for bar threads? Better quality tires maybe?

The third photo looks like you found the (very) light beer after loading. My experience loading at the Chicken Ranch is that even a rolling frame can be a good workout when you are hand winching.
There is regularly a listing for Holmes literature for the w35 wrecker set, although I think the CMP used the w45, on ebay.

Grant ..The CMP used the W-35 Holmes wrecker..The Diamond "T" used the W-45 Model..check your manuals..It is in there..The Bodies manual and the Diamond "T" parts manual..there is a great set of drawings on the mast gib and boom on the crane for the CMP in the bodies manual also..
