Not a good photo from over 10 years ago. Front loader out of a coal yard, engine and winch from an ex-Pickfords Fordson, transmission and rear end of a Fordson that came from fruit farm in the Malvern Hills! A real "Bitsa"!

Again, not a good photo from about 12 years ago. We got this for a few site jobs back in the early 90's. 1942 ex Western Desert Campaign. Released from Rudd in 64, sold to a tree surgeon, who used and abused it, then it went to Shiptons Recovery, back to the contractor then to us via a dreamer. The engine was a large bus engine (9.8ltr) which kept ripping the cross member out! Some **** set fire to it in the yard and then she got vandalised. She got sold for £500 in the end.
