Atkinson Harvest truck

Atkinson 290 cummins phase 2 1976 model







It even had a remote control to operate the hoist





It started out at Corowa NSW (Francis Transport) and owned by a Jerilderie contractor at one stage

Obviously done a bit of work but good to see it still earning a quid.

Hi,nice ol' truck still working harvests.
That remote for the hoist is a great idea,anyone know where to get one and how are they hooked up?

Cheers Bruce.

it's good to see the old girl still carving it out...

...only going by the (original?) nameplates this may be the good argument for the term ''Mk 3'' whereby she was the last style of plastic cab...but not yet modelled as an ''Atkinson 3800 by International''...

...they were very certainly known as MK 3's before they were ever known as a 3800....cheers fellas

Bruce, the hand that the remotes in belongs the supplier and he fits them up, it doesn't interfear with the manual workings, I didn't ask how much it cost. If someone was interested enough I could track him down.

Cheers Bruce.
