Hi Oily, This A.D. Boyes is nothing to do with the old established ■■■■■■■■ company of A.D. Boyes from Ireby, mentor to Bewick and myself many years ago back in the very early 1960s and still going strong with their Brunswick green lorries although a bit of white crept into their last new acquisition.
Plus a photo for Dennis.
Cheers, Leyland 600.

Aye Gerald I rode a good few miles sat on the bonnet of that motor, with ADB at the wheel and AHB on the passenger seat ! I recall that the container was quite a substantial one which IIRC had a middle fixed partition with two doors , upper and lower and of course it had a top deck for the sheep sales. RWB was William’s mate on the Comet which again I sat on the bonnet eh! but as I was only a Nipper it didn’t bother me one bit ! Happy days. Cheers Dennis.

Couple from way back when, remember the S type Bedford with its super soft springs with a load of straw over cab, Buzzer

Dirty Dan:
Great pics oily! That Wilson 143 looks like real beast,wouldent mind to have a go in that one :sunglasses:

Danne

Aye, nice ones again Oily, ta mate!

That 143 is still in their fleet if I’m not mistaken Danne, they mainly use it to attend fairs and such with the 141 on the back of the trailer.

A bit worn out to put it mildly… :wink:

My first welding job at Ben Wyatt’s Plant was welding new Cleats on the track pads of a D7. Similar to that one, 3 cleats per pad, fully welded both sides. I was running two “stick” sets, sitting on a 10 gallon drum with the seat cushion off an old BMC van, with a cut down 45 gallon drum half full of cold water to cool the rod holders and it took nearly 2 weeks. Another guy was hard facing the sprockets, then the idlers. Everything was reconditioned there. The tracks were spread out on the Hanger floor and new bolts and nuts fitted, then the Cat was started and the tracks wound back on and the King pins fitted. Jim.

Sounds like a job that would have worn me out then :wink:

I’ve loaded a machine some years ago where they fitted some extra high cleats on the tracks, I can assure you that it was quite a bugger to get it on the trailer, was hippin’ and hoppin’ all the time…

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed the weather then eh :laughing: :laughing:

It’s a drainage machine mate, solid looking piece of kit eh, at the back of the machine there’s this sort of digger arm, used to dig small trenches and they then lay drainage pipes or other sort of pipes into that trench, although I’m not sure about how they really work, I only know how to get them on and of the trailer…
If you’re interested, have a look on their website interdrain.com

Hello John. Hope you are well on the way to full recovery. That lorry should get some reaction from Haddy who was on for Perfects. Jim.
