1965 Foden Tractor Unit
I have taken the decission to sell my beloved Foden S21 Tractor Unit.
Not only do I need the funds to do the boiler on the Aveling but also when the roller is in steam I just wont be able to take this lorry to more than 1 or 2 shows a year and it will be a shame for it to stay hidden away in a barn for no one to see. This lorry was bought as a complete wreck 6 years ago and it's fair to say it was 1 seized solid lump of steel. Over 5 years we personally restored it to the immaculate condition it is in now. Pretty much everything was removed, stripped and repaired or replaced and reassembled. The list of work complete is immense but here are some of the main points: New rear drums New shoes all round New chambers all round New flexi brake pipes New rear axle seals Rebuilt pump with new pump tops and pistons New clutch plate New flywheel face plate New thermostats New water hoses New fan belts New radiator New seats Replacement diff New front spring New exhaust New front bumper New lights all round New door pins New door windows New window regulators New windscreen rubbers New bump stops New mirrors New wipers New filters all round New diesel tank Replacement rear wings New shatter proof rear window 2 new batteries Much new wiring New floors New cab mounts New foot brake valve New unloader valves New wing supports New door handles New step rings New wheel trims 90% good tyres Literally 100's if not 1000's of other new components that I cannot remember/start to list. The lorry has only been to 3 rally’s since it was completed and the paint job is as good as you would expect on a car (and better than a lot of new cars if you ask my opinion). The lorry was new to BOC in 1965 and has thus been restored into original colours. The sign writing is actual gold leaf copied from original photos of lorries at this time. It is fitted with a 150 Gardner Engine (which, as you would expect, starts on the button), and Foden 5 speed box. Once run down the road there is no signs of smoke and it runs like a dream. I have had a thread going on for quite a while about its restoration and this will give you a good idea of the amount of work that has been done: http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/showthread.php?t=22057 Here is a picture of it in its current state: Any questions please PM me. Vodafone have done a kind job of losing my mobile number at the minute so if you want to talk please try my work mobile on 07990793315. I don't always have it on me but if I don't answer just leave a message and I'll call you back. Can be seen at Kelsall this weekend, Cheshire Rally in a few weeks and Cumbria Steam Gathering end July. £12000 ono
