andypaint Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Nice truck. I used to do work for the foden family near me in Cheshire. I think they said one of the foden brothers owns erf trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Supercharged diesel, eh! - so no points to set or valve clearances to worry about. Maintenance must be a doddle then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Cracking truck. My Dad drove trucks all his working life; starting off with flat-bed Thames Traders hauling milk in churns, then Mammoth Majors and finally ERF artics when the company he worked for bought artics. I spent many a happy hour travelling the length and breadth of the country with him as a young lad, and can many a time remember sitting on the engine cover steering (just holding the steering wheel actually) the Mammoth Major while he lit a smoke as it crawled it's way up out of Brough and over Stainmore at walking speed. Nice pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
