Those Foden K Types didn’t really catch on, ok for light bulky loads but struggled at top weight with a two stroke engine and only a four speed 'box and single drive back end to save more weight. I think that Bison’s ran some though? Give Foden’s their due though, they were never afraid of experimenting with different designs even though some failed to take off.Pete.
I’m disappointed in you Pete , as a Foden man you should know the K type had a 5 speed box . Super low 1st and reverse were included . Only joking , to get super low 1st was a ball ache , lift the clip in 1st , push forward then to the left and then pull back . Reverse was , engage reverse, then lift to the left and pull back . But then again you’d be too young to know about such things , whippersnapper !
Yes, you are quite correct Dave, I do have youth on my side.
However Fodens listed it as it only having a four speed box so presumably it wasn’t meant to go backwards either?
Pete.
Come on Pete, Fodens can go anywere, Well mine did
They do indeed ,well if your a proper owner operator like us ey Larry they do
