do you chip workers and stack their legs beside the chipper??

 

you asked for pictures here they are 774 fbd AEC Matador built 1945 for RAF rebuilt 1963 as timber tractor by smiths coachworks carrington st kettering as timber tractor owned and operated by michael watson loddington for timber haulage extraction used until late 1980s now preserved by me it still carries its original livery and equipment from the last day it worked .

yellow matador ex np timber rothwell road sawmills kettering northants still works despite its appearance and 40 years of abuse hauling timber !

some call it a hobby or is that another word for hard work still work these if we get a chance but most of time do vintage shows and rallys

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.
