What’s with the radiator sticking out?
The only difference I can see but can’t explain , haven’t seen it earlier
Correct . Im supprised none of these 3 series fans have never asked about it because it does look a bit different & has no use whatsoever I think it was done by it
s first owners Parnabys just to make it look a bit more beefy.It is also a double drive unit. It
s still being used now to haul plant local by a different company & still looks well.
