I am not wishing to criticise Mac Arrowsmith on his fine Dodge, but exactly is there “original” to show ?
All components have been renewed/replaced throughout the wagon`s lifetime.
However , it is good to see a British-built vehicle still earning its keep.

It is similar to the story about a recently-retired farmer, who claimed to still have the same yard brush from 50 years earlier.
He admitted that hed bought many replacement brush heads and brush shafts over the years, but he claimed his yard brush was still the same` brush. :laughing:

Cheers, cattle wagon man.
