Not at the moment, but they do have a habit of turning up now and again.

is the firm still going ?

It's still going, but not in the same way
Had 25 or 30 years of contracting but just happy to be a peasant farmer now.

How many gates and gate posts did those dual hubs claim?

Lol, probably a few in that configuration, but I believe it spent most of it’s working life on the dual wheels that were also in the sale.
We had a neighbour up the road in the 80’s with an International 5488, they had the longer rear half shafts as it was an evaluation model, soon had them cut down to a more UK size.
