Hanno, no tractor, not planning any vehicular acquisitions!

Gordon,

I used to make pump bases for Weir Group. We had been making them for Girdlestone Pumps here in Suffolk but they closed the factory and moved it all to Glasgow. Our input ended soon after!

Not planning eh? But if you stumble across a nice CGT or FGT .... What about a classic British 1943 Morris C8 Quad Gun Tractor up for grabs? Or a nice Cab 12 CGT?

They would not be wasted on you

Thanks for your kind words Hanno but I might be wasted on them!

Hi Adrian,

My 25pdr is Weir no. 266 and the Australian War Memorial have no. 504 both are not modified with the flash guard and counterweight that yours has. Congratulations with your purchase. Enjoy the restoration and post plenty of photos. Regards Rick. (from my hospital bed, 17 days so far but improving daily).
