Aye, fly tipping after the bloke in charge has finished early on Fridays eh! Dennis.

Now now Dennis, if it’s where I think it is they used to lock the gates to stop that! Mind you, Dan might have a key…

Some of those little Cargos were not bad lorries. I even did a trip to Germany in one! The better ones had the combination of ■■■■■■■ 250 or 290 with a 9-speed Fuller 'box. Here are two examples. The second one had left-hand-drive and a 250 + Fuller 9. Robert

Hi Kev, I also have a facination with these little motors, I got my eye on this one at Hayes Garden Centre in Ambleside during the summer here are some phone images of this vehicle. I was back in the centre about a month a go when it was standing there completely empty, I wish I had taken more photos it looked good empty.
Cheers,
Leyland 600

Please excuse my ignorance, and this may not be the appropriate place to ask a question…

How do the rams on a tiphook both tip & slid the skip off? Is there a locking system to stop the skip sliding off the back when tipping, or am I miles out in my guess?

1st pic shows equipment in “tipping mode”, exactly like tipper body,2nd/3rd pic’s hook slid right back to enable equipment to “break” and send hook over to pick skip up, once skip is landed on chassis, extend neck forwards ( see 1st pic how neck is right forward) and there are locks towards rear of equipment that lock in to chassis on skip,3rd pic with red arrow, hope this helps,
PS, apologies to Oily for going off topic,Cheer’s Pete

Hi Kevin, Perhaps you fancy something a little more sophisticated, how do you fancy doing little removal jobs around town with this wee pantechnicon I snapped on the Isle of Capri in 2005. It had been loading luggage at the mini bus station for onward transit to hotels etc. Note there are slightly larger buses providing local services on this very hilly, with narrow streets and roadways island. Perhaps this first photo should be posted under Roping and Sheeting !!
Cheers, Leyland 600.

So do I, Kev, but I wouldn’t want to go far in a high wind with that one!
My brother-in-law and I had visions a couple of years ago of shoehorning a Suzuki 1,000 engine into a TukTuk and using it for allotment duties. Until we found out how much people are asking for them!

Looking through some old Commercial Motor magazines from 1966 I found this photo on a James Bowen of Edinburgh advert which reminded me of an incident just north of Sanquahar where a van had gone off the road and down into a wood, the local garage wrecker was there a petrol engined ex army Chevrolet of Ford, traffic was building up as the driver scratted about in the middle of the road trying to pull this van out, at the front of the queue was an ERF of Andrew Hogg just like this one quietly ticking over, the driver got fed up of waiting and says “Gies a haud on it” yoking the chain to the front towing jaw and without increasing the revs pulled the van back onto the road in less than a couple of minutes just like pulling teeth.
Cheers, Leyland 600.

Hi Dennis,
I’ve notice the wristband so I reckon your back load would consist of few trays of beer,couple off the top shelf and cheese sandwiches to soak it all up?
