A odd ford 6600

[Rust]

Fella working on a odd 6600 in my shed. Anyone know why the extra brakes and cab ?

Duncan cab I believe, not sure on the extra disc brake, but a good idea, especially if on both sides.

 

[Rust]

Yes both sides

Also handbrake on left side and a independent unit.
Speedo as well.

Sorry if a mess. App isn't working and having to use website

Ex industrial.

Speedo suggests it’s been used for industrial work rather than agriculture. Speedo often required if taxed as haulage type unit, and the brakes would suggest the same.

Now Then..
Industrial or council tractors always used to have a separate parking brake rather than using the service brake to park. MF20, industrial version of the MF135 had 2 independent sets of brake shoes in the same drum. Fords always seemed to have separate handbrake for Ag as well as industrial. I've seen David Brown industrial tractors with brake drums in the front wheels too.... They all seem like things of the past now..

Early 70s Perrys of Potters bar used to do the shire tractor for highway use and they had to put disc brakes on to comply with having out board brake as the powers that be deemed inboard brake were not legal as some thing to do having the brakes at the end of the drive shaft we are talking nearly fifty years ago i will try and find the paper work

The first one was done in 1969 as they did not have a ford cab they went on to supply a lot to other dealers in the Ford camp
