Spotted recently off the N4 near Mullingar...

Could it be an old Bedford ?

Cab looks similar.



Something like a Bedford RL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford_RL

Nope, It's the Fordson above

Beside the badge shape, the roof hatch is offset on the E4, it's central on the RL

Do like the RL though, mate of mine had one but reckoned RL stood for Real Liability!

Yeah that's nice. No messing its functional no more needed perfect
I cant thank your post for some reason?

Box on the back of that looks home made (but a good job). The guy was all kitted out in green too matching it

130s are getting a little more common, bro in law runs one (his second), nothing else will do the job. There's a tasty Bonatti grey running round in S Tipp.

Bro in laws 130 (and my 110)

Went to the War and Peace show in Kent (over working at the moment) at it's new site this morning to see whether it had improved. We stopped going 10 years ago as the organisers were too greedy and facilities were poor. It's probably the worlds biggest MV show and loads of Irish MV owners attend, met a few there. The site was immense, imagine an MV show taking up the whole of the Curragh racecourse and all the surrounding fields. I didn't get to see it all as I was too knackered (combination of a night shift and a session on the beer!)

I think I have seen them out the far side of Midland. They are not on the site I work on but may well be on others.

Thats a cool yoke . What engine is in it?

Slidey

4.2 non turbo. It's a bit gutless but chugs along all day.

Gutless ?
ok a 4.2 pick up without a turbo .
Who`s idea was that?

They need the turbo i think, not so much gutless without it, should still pull a lot just very slow to rev or pick up speed. Lovely sound from them though turbo or non turbo.

beretta686s

Just a bit bigger than a napsack sprayer

A few pics from the past while...

Just bought a new toy to play with in the UK while I'm working there.

Hermy

Looks great Sean.
How old is it?
Any special features?

101sean

It's 1973, standard ex British Army Series 3 half ton 12V Lightweight. Only thing special about it is that I borrowed it back in 1992 and piled it into a ditch at 40mph writing it off!!

It then got rebuilt on a new galvanised chassis so is pretty good. It was a culture shock driving one after stepping out of a BMW, can't believe I drove one as an everyday vehicle back in the 80s!

It needs the gearbox replacing, comes with a recon one in the back and the steering needs talking to. The petrol engine is really sweet.

Croplands Rogator 1084, 36m spray boom.


180hp Case, & 325hp Steiger


My own truck, and my work "ute" a 4.2 6cyl non turbo diesel, pulls over 4t of trailer & water tank all day through fields without any kind of struggle, also has on board air & helper airbags on the back.


Brand new (demo model) New Holland harvester, on tracks at the front with a powered rear axle, the lorry is a Western Star, and a John Deere with chaser bin as seen in the next pic also, cant remember the model of it though.





Some big Cats:



Really really cool 80 Series Landcruiser turned double cab trayback :drool


Dozer & enormous excavator with its jib removed!

Got rained off today, and we heard that there was an auction at a farm nearby so we went down for a looksee,

Some really interesting stuff at it!!: :yay

This thing was billed as a home-made tractor, and I guess thats exactly what it was!


This lovely landcruiser sold for just $1500, apparently only had low range working though, was very clean all things considered 8)









A nice versatile


This truck fetched around $20,000, not sure what it is but there was mega interest in it ???


A very very old tractor, im sure someone here will know what it is :wave


A very rotten, very rusty old Holden, made $2000 ::)


Two big Deeres, the harvester got $2500, and the tractor got $17,000 despite the fact that it started to run away when started up just at the selling time

101sean

Nice pice, keep them coming!

I think the truck is a Diamond T tank transporter, probably still with it's Hercules petrol engine as that looks like a LPG tank on the side.

I think you may be correct, the engine was indeed a Hercules! Huge interest in it, most popular item of the day by far.

Actually, that home made tractor also had a Hercules engine in it too!!

I will keep em coming, thank you!

Spoke to boss about it just there, and you are indeed Correct Sean, it was a 1942, with working engine and drivetrain, cab was in reasonable nick too! And I was wrong, it fetched 12, not 20 grand..

Cheensbo

Its an international cant remember the model number, but its a 130hp, an 83 or 84 model i think

Unfortunately i cant get a better pic (dont work there anymore )

Its an Iveco. They are used as refuse trucks, concrete and agregate delivers and the likes.

Previously they would have been badged as International afaik

Transformer delivery. There was another prime mover in front of the first one, which was removed to get it in the gate. 4 Prime movers in total for a 220T transformer + the weight of the beam set.
