I've just been looking through an old album (back in the days of 35mm prints!), and re-discovered these 2 photos. In 1994 I helped a friend of mine retrieve this old Fordson woodie, reg JNK 643. It was very angular and all in all a bit odd looking. I think he sold it on, does anyone know what became of it? we towed it back from Little Lever to Ashley, I was in the Ford on steering duty. From memory it was quite an early example, central throttle pedal etc.

Good job you were on a rigid tow then, it could be awkward looking for the brake pedal in a hurry.  |

| I hope someone did save it,it's a bit different from yer average classic.Looks like a well-finished coachbuilt job.But who on earth would put the throttle in the centre?Was this still common at the time?I thought that idea died in the 20's. |
