An interesting ad for Edbro Twin Ram hoists from 1965, showing an early Bell Bros roadtrain.

The truck appears to be an ERF .. but eye'll stand 2B kerr-rected .. as you well know .. :)

Bells must have got special dispensation from the MRDWA to get 76

That's a Pommy D8H with a S/N prefix of 68A (identical to the U.S.-built 46A series D8H) .. and the U.S. weights are as follows ..

Tractor operating weight ................. 48,000 lbs
Cat 8A angle blade ......................... 10,000 lbs
Rear-mounted No. 128 cable control .. 2,000 lbs

This makes a total of 60,000 lbs, which is 27,223 kgs.

I'll bet there was a rush to place orders, when this ad appeared in the "Power Farming" magazine of April 1944 .. :)

However .. not only did you have to be an "essential commercial user" .. you also had to apply, for a "Permit To Acquire" from the Govt .. :'(

No doubt, hundreds and hundreds of applications were received .. but only a few dozen applicants, got their order filled .. :'(

The S900 looks wider in the front than today's trucks, and I thought the W series were nice trucks until I looked at Swishy's pics. :o
