coupe of photos from the last rally
Little blue truck got put in by accident .
Is that a "fowler" crawler there? Never seen one till now
What is the model of that blue truck? Not familiar with that truck but it looks great.
The tractor on the back of the Dodge truck is a Fieldmarshall series 3.They are a single cylinder 40 hp 2 stroke diesel .They have the same engine as the fowler VF crawler. The Crawler in the photo is a Fowler Leeds 3-30, built in 1935 .Not very many were built . The Blue Truck is a UD ,which is Japanese. It has a 5 ton load rating .

Ford County belongs to our club founder .He owns about 15 of the tractors at the rally .
Was good to catch up with you, Ianoz. It was an enjoyable day. Very glad Dad and I made it down for a look.
Great photos Ian, by the way what are the drum shaped thingos on the side of the Bulldog and the Lanz ? P.T.O. take off ?.Thanks Garrie.
Hi Garrie , I am pretty sure it is the Clutch covers . Got to take the cover off and put the Steering wheel into it to start it .
Looks like a good time. Too bad I am on the wrong side of the pond.
Hi Jerry , Only a small show by comparison to the ones I see photos of on your side of the pond . Was great to catch up with Barefootbushie and his Dad .They drove over 250 Kms each way to come for a look .Next time I will give him a go on a cat in the tractor pull .Was having too much fun myself to think to offer .
The flywheel..........single cylinder engines.
Thanks Plant Fitter, I did not even know they were single cylinder, they must have a big pot.
