No I believe it is earlier than that. Basically civilian but to military order so different model.

Looks like they changed over to banjo type diffs sometime between 1950 and 1957 ...also had OHV motors in 1957 ,so looks like around 1952 may be right. I certainly wont be going to look .......the location at Blacksoil suggests maybe Barry Bergin

There was a guy only *just* out of Blacksoil named Charlie Beetham (?) who had a couple of similar things, although I suspect he's long gone.

Jarrod.

Bergin used to have a machinery yard a bit back towards Ipswich from the Esk turnoff ..beside the railway line ,maybe......one time he was with Roy Storey , the big machinery yard right at the Esk turn off .....he is kinda overweight ,to put it mildly

There is still a machinery yard in Blacksoil, just before the Fernvale / Esk turnoff. No idea who runs it.

Jarrod.

Looks like no more takers.

 

Lang I had no idea, looked like a Russian truck that was copied from WW2 Diamond T

I wasn't even close ha ha ha

FWD certainly built some interesting trucks.

 

Roy Bremner and his brother had several of the FWD-HARs in the yard behind the Darra cement works.........incidentally ,Bremners father owned the whole of the Jindalee industrial area.........two brothers and a sister had a trust for them worth millions in 1970s money.........anyhoo ,all Roy ever did was drink ,and the trucks lived in bushes ,along with a Federal and a Coles 30 tonner .........The Big Red Shed was there last I went by ,but the trust would still own the land..........Roys ex wife tried to break the trust in court ,but lost.
