Awesome Stefan!

You are leaving the side "legs" off as per early Holmes equipment, I presume?

Have you made up your mind about the floor behind the cab yet? Some lockers and that genny set?

Default thanks

Thanks a lot guys,

It takes some time, but at one point it will be ready!!!

Here are more pics,

The legs are attached, as it came as set from the chicken range, and I have not got the guts to change that!

(forgot to thank Hanno for getting me logged again!)

Regards,

Stefan

Stefan,

Sure, no problem, it took some time figuring out but it is good to see you back on here.

The F60H looks fabulous!

Hey all,

Here are some pics of today, Dirk is helping with an old tool to get Barry's generator in place.

The generator might not be correct, but this one got quite some history, maybe Barry can tell us more about it.

One more, that's it for today!

Cheers,

Stefan

Thanks guys, the nice part of the F60H restoring is starting now I guess.
This morning playing in the snow for Stefan (no Barry, not in Castleton).
10 cm snow is for us in Broek op Langedijk a lot, for you guys on the
other side of the pond, maybe nothing ?

The first picture of the F60H is taken during my first visit to Canada in 1989.
The other two pics a couple of years later. Lots of memory's when I walk around
over the yard from the Elliott brothers, George and Don in Newtonville.
I know the yard is almost "empty" but the coffee is always fress for our Dutch guys.
