Going on a limb here, but was this one a gun tractor?
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cleve...uck/1036257762 Looks very sort and the cut rear cab? If not, what might it have been being so short (shortened?). Cheers, Ian.

not GT
Ian,
Looks more like a F60L or F60s cut down, GT's don't have over load springs or small fuel tanks. going by the plating down the chassis rails I suspect more cut down than GT.

Normally I'd agree with Euan that it's a cut down F60S/L, but in this case I reckon it's a 15cwt chassis that has broken its back and had to be shortened. That would account for the fuel tank being moved forward, and it would make sense to move the rear fuel tank mount forward to the FGT set of holes, which is where it is on this vehicle. It's possible the crane had to be moved back to clear the cab as well, which might account for the overhang at the rear. There's no reason to cut down a F60S/L chassis so drastically and create all this extra work. Auxiliary spring hangers have been bolted on, so we can't draw any conclusions there. Statistically speaking it's more likely to be F15A with a retrofit winch than a FGT, and while the home made cab may raise suspicions, it's not EVIDENCE of FGT. I've been trying to identify the front step mount, which is slightly different on FGTs, but it's very difficult with these low res photos. Anyway I'm unable to rule it out as a FGT so here's hoping!
