New to Boots. There are pictures about of it with Boots. Both with a canvas cover as it is now and I think a box body. It ended up as a boiler and motion as a power source.

Jack Crabtree got it and built it into a tractor of sorts using what I nderstood to be a Whitlow rear axle.

Now restored more or less to as built condition

The axcels were of a diesel Foden timber tractor with the engine mounted horizontally behind the cab.

The back one Chris, off a Whitlow. They (A Whitlow) had more or less the same front axle as a 6 tonner. So the front wasn't off one of them.
