Wheel Nut:
Just another nice looking example on a Polish website. Drivers complain of huge mirrors now, when these came out the comments were similar, they gave the best view ever
The F88 behind is on the F88 thread

Hi guys stumbled across this forum and have joined.
I remember the 86 my dad had it was a 6 wheeler with single drive rear axle and I spent many a happy weekend helping fix it and keep it going when it was retired it sported a rebuilt cab and good running engine it was a shame
Keep up the good work on the restoration front biggest problem I remember is the wheels small centres and did suffer cracking
Welcome vougese39!
You say the F86 Lorry were 3-axle and were driven on the first rear axle. The last axle were it a sort of axle as one could hoists up as is common in Sweden? We used to save the tyres when it not rolls.
