Fergie at work…Hiya,
Well working in that position should certainly make sure the
pistons and liners are well lubricated.
thanks harry, long retired.
Like tyre wear, this is merely saving track wear…and prolongs piston life too…nice one Harold…

Firstly, what is it … some kind of new fangled log sheet …?
Second. There appears to be a space for a name, so I guess I’d put yours in it… 
Tip…never use your own, it might incriminate you…

Got to keep one jump ahead of you whippersnappers…
It’s a Krupp (known for its steelworks in Essen, Germany) when also the factory was called ‘Südwerke’ from Kulmbach, Germany. Till 1963 Krupp was sticking to 2-cycle diesels and from
about 1950 the range of chassis was called after animals, Büffel, Elch, Tiger, Mustang etc and
since about 1960 the producttypes where called in codes like L/S for normal control, LF/LS for
front followed with numbers reflecting to capacity, axles etc
Thank you ERF-continental. Well that sorts that out. It’s a Krupp. But I would still love to know why it is on Spanish Historic plates

I’d always fill in the name of me planner, or the name of the chief mechanic…not that I’d fiddled about with me disc’s, mind…

German expat missing the proper build quality…? 
I notice that Ferdi has just put a rather good selection of oldies on the Toprun website, very much in keeping with this thread! Robert

Found another batch of “unindentified” cabs, recognise any of these [zb] Anorak?
Those cabs are made by Koster out of Wolphaartsdijk. The early ones are easily recognizable with their slanted windshield and the special chrome trim on the doors. The later cabs share their overall look and detail with other contemporary makers like Van Eck and others and need a closer look not to be misidentified.
The Swiss DAF is probably wider than 2300mm. The standard cab was 2434 mm wide including fenders, but I also found one french folder suggesting only 2400mm.
However, 2500 mm were generally road-legal in Switzerland. The 2300 mm limit only applied to certain roads that were specially marked, mostly the narrower alpine roads. If the DAF circled in a more urban area, the width probably wasn’t too much of a bother.
Excellent contributions from our Spanish correspondent. 
Now, Señor Barreiros, please cast your eyes over this thread:

…and identify the coachbuilder responsible for the rather fine sleeper cab on FH 25 37!

Good morning all,
I would generally agree with en Señor Barreiros. The Swiss did have a 2.30m width limit which existed into the early 1980s.
To my knowledge only DAF and VOLVO had specific models.
How DAF responded to the challenge I don’t know. Volvo introduced the CH230 which essentially was an F89 with narrower mudguards and a very tiny step which was excellent for hurting one’s knee and legs in rainy conditions.
Here’s the normal F89 setup:
And here is a CH230:
As you can see, the second step will hardly accommodate the toes and its slippery edge was the cause of many a bruise.
More importantly, the more narrow front axle was not the regular “European” F89’s, but came from the F86!
I hope this is of some interest for you Gents.
All the best
David
The ladder on the CH spoils the whole thing, unless ladders were considered by the Swiss to be in the same class as mirrors. There is a Swiss LB111 on here somewhere. The door handles were recessed into the door. I cannot find a similar LB110, suggesting that the 2.3m rule came in some time during the mid 1970s. Is this correct?
