What is the sandwich box mounted behind your gearbox.

Is it 4WD or a reduction box.

Hi Frans,

Welcome!
You have 2 very nice tractors!!

Is the cab on the 4WD original? Perhaps from a company, that modified Fordson's/Ford's in these days like "Bakker Ulrum"?

Posted: **Wed Jul 09, 2008 7:42 pm**

Hello Pascal

the cab was self made by the previus owner 35 years ago and I took it off (going to China)

Its fitted with a 6 cylinder 590 FL

the firm Bakker ulrum is unknown by me

regards Frans

Hello Frans,

Welcome on board. Nice to have someone from Holland again.
Very nice couple.
I assume the nose is modified for the six cylinder instead of the hood. Never saw that before.
