Two weeks ago when I was traveling home from germany, I drove on the A 50 near Nijmegen (ewijksebrug < visit the website once www.ewijksebrug.nl>) and there was a truck from the dutch army with a Fordson major on it, unfortanatly I was alone (driving with a trailer) and it was raining so I tried to make some pics (terrible to do) but here it is
When I came acros I saw a second truck with an other fordson on it
The guys in the truck did look stange at me taking pictures of the old stuff, the first fordson was traveling with a IJPR (ijzeren panservoertuig op rupsen) the second fordson was traveling with a DAF YA-328 (6x6 called a Dikke Daf very populair in holland)
This is the one from a neighbour on the dyk from the river Waal.
If any one has more pics from the fordsons in the dutch army please post or send them.

Hi Frans,
Great pictures.
Several New Major's were used in the Dutch army. A guy in the neighbourhood of the Dutch city Amersfoort has bought a lot of (unused) New Major parts.
I have bought 2 "new" spindles, bushes, etc with him.
If you like, I can email his telephone number.

Fordson's don't leak oil, they are just marking their territory.
