Dad had a Blue one of those. His had a 180 Gardener in it. He tells some rare stories from those days! Nice to look back at those old trucks, can’t beat a bit of nostalgia, but I suspect they were tough days at the wheel compared to modern vehicles. I also suspect they were probably the best times to be in haulage, the jobs certainly not got any easier.

180 Gardener tied to a 6 speed David Brown box?

Dad had a Seddon Atkinson 8 wheeler with a Gardner engine. Think it was a 180. First lorry he ever owned.

The smoke upon cold start up could strip your skin off and blind you, it revved up to 1400 rpm flat out and the lorry blistered along at a howling 47mph downhill.

Hideous thing.

Yes probably STGO 3, Twin drive axle, with a lift axle, 4 axle extended trailer, 150 ton Max gross, had been into London with concrete beams, and I put Single row Potato hoover on it.

@grainboy look familiar. Govern got it here with no hassle.

God loves a tryer....
Ontario police stopped a guy in a pickup with a 53’ trailer on the back.

Good job it wasn’t a Navara...

 

[stev]

He must have balls of steel !

Is the keg full of beer?

 

[colhonk]

Not suprised they stopped him............The drawbar tounge is far to thin, huh, dangerous

Many years ago whilst working in Wisconsin the combining contractor arrived in a foul mood having been ticketed for towing 5 empty gravity box grain trailers down the highway behind a pickup , the combine driver also got stopped for having a horse standing up in the bed of a pickup haltered to the ladder rack/roll bar .neither thought they had done anything wrong .

Does this count? Best I can do.

Nope didn't think so?

Ok here's a local farmers fleet parked up for Christmas, next to the road for everyone to take a handy pic

I picked the second Volvo from the right up from the dealers brand new in (I think) sep 06.
Nice to see it still going.
