Does the back on Gleaveie's Foden tip?
The dint in the wheel rim always makes me smile. Who says cast Iron doesn't bend?
The tipping gear on Mr Wilkinsons Foden (the WD one) is fabulous, it is so low geared that if you want to raise the body by an inch it is easy.
I suspect the group looking at the water tank were discussing how to get water in the tank, the original as built arrangement on the WD Foden is only via the White's water lifter. This means you need to pour the water in the suction connection on the lifter. So if the 'water man's' hose is bigger than a garden hose it is very difficult to fill up without spillage, and this is made worse as the tank doesnt appear to breath very well (let the displaced air about).
What it wants is a 3 inch hole in the top of the tank, bunged up with a threaded plug that is all hidden when the body is down. You would have to raise the body to fill up, but it would be far easier.
