			Hi all 
		
		
		
			Another field trip resulted in the following discovery. The location will have to remain undisclosed as the owner prefers privacy. Bob  |

			There were many of these lying around including one pristine restored one but that was too awkard to photograph.  Hope you enjoyed the tour.

			Interesting finds, Bob 
		
		
		
			When I first saw the orange Ford I thought you may have discovered a long-lost ex-Ringwood Timber yard crane, but on closer inspection it looks like they're separate trucks, although clearly to the same design. The one from Ringwood I photographed around 1972. It started life as a No9 gun tractor, and I suspect the one you have found would have been either a No8 or 9 as well. You can see the rear and roof of the cab has been fabricated on both trucks. Looks like a spot the difference doesn't it? There are many detail differences, the most significant of which is the Ringwood one has the lifting flanges on the hubs. Here's a composite of both:
