Looks like they had a fight & the middle one lost -regular occurrence.
yes Harry it was , towards the end of my old girls time i used to carry a spare one as it was so regular, the last one i changed packed up on the way home from Italy in a hell of a storm - isn’t that always the way? cut a spud in half to keep going (it worked)

We found that taking the middle wiper away and moving the passenger side further up the screen did not give us the constant problems of tangled wipers, burnt out motors or the fibre wheel in the motor stripping it’s teeth!!
Regards Pat
It was always the fibrewheel with mine , i never thought to do what you did !

That was a regular mod in Finland also. Maybe recommended by Scania dealers?
Last week in Sweden…
A LT145… still doing his work every day !!
[At the time this pic was taken vehicle was in service with Bob Corp and the driver was Brian “Cheesy” Holland from Stroud ,now in his 72nd year and unfortunately not enjoying the best of healthquote=“NZ JAMIE”]G’day,
Many thanks to Bill for the p.m and info on the Dutch spec 141 that I posted last week and thanks to Carl Jarman for the info on his 141 it would seem that they were run by the same bloke. Great looking trucks.
Here’s another possible Dutch 141 that I took in 1990 at a cold store in Devon,very tidy looking, I do remember the driver’s mate calling the driver ‘Cheese’,does it ring any bells?
Who or what was ‘Nortrail’ Bill was it do do with the Norwegian railways?

Hi Vabisman, that is a rare beast. According to Bjorn-Eric Lindh’s book, only 114 LT145s were built, between 1975 and 1976. I think one was exhibited at the RHA Tipper Convention, in Harrogate, in 1976. I am pretty sure they showed the later LT146 model there in 1977 or 1978(313 built, in case you are wondering!). I can’t remember if those show vehicles were RHD, or indeed if any British operators bought any, apart from the one Collet’s had as a tractor unit.
Now, here’s an oddity- were any 6x4 bonneted 140s built? According to Mr. Lindh, no- if you wanted double drive and 14 litres before 1975, you had to have a forward control cab (1171 LBT140s built). However, I know there was an LT140. How? Because there is a picture of one on page 80 of Pat Kennet’s book. It is clearly a 6x4, with hub-reduction axles. I may find out for sure in May, when I am going to visit the Scania Museum. How receptive are they to mad Brits asking even madder questions?
