43 'ers







Both being made in model form later this year by Tekno.

Definitely better looking than the 4 series nice photos rob. Nobody has attempted to answer my spot the difference on the Gallarchers/ Parnabys 143 :question:

Greek, here’s an attempt
What’s with the radiator sticking out?
The only difference I can see but can’t explain , haven’t seen it earlier :question:

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 its first owners Parnabys just to make it look a bit more beefy.It is also a double drive unit. Its still being used now to haul plant local by a different company & still looks well.

Good job they used it on heavy work then, might have put them overlength. :open_mouth: :laughing: :laughing:
