It looks very Fordson 7V or BBE, that big window on the door is quite a clue, I think, but only 85bhp to pull that lot, and I wouldn't want to go out on a windy day. -- Last edit: 2016-05-04 19:24:13

The Fordson is a BBE, the 7V was not around until a year after the film date. Even the 4-6 ton BBE would be very new; 1937 for the introduction of the 144" wheelbase truck. However the Sussex and Surrey six-wheelers were available a year earlier as a way of making the 1935 2-3 ton 118" wheelbase into a longer 4-6 ton truck so that could be what we have here but the rear wheels are not visible I think. -- Last edit: 2019-09-01 11:18:43
