Thread: 80" with plough

Good find Mike!

The first pic looks more like a mower, or a tedder than a plough, given the hay lying on the ground,

Cheers Charlie

do i detect that the ute body is a lot smaller?
ie not as high as a normal landy

Looks the same as mine.

Hi Mike,

Great photos!

It's a Mar 1949 on or early 1950 model as it has a green painted chassis, wide transom, spade seats and flat hood bow (all gone by about 10000 into 1950 production).
Note also the black painted windscreen bonnet rests. They were painted black over the galvanising to stop reflections from the sidelights in the firewall. Later models were just black painted and not galvanised at all.

Victorian OE registration puts it at November 1949 - Jan 1950 delivery so very likely in the first 1000 of the 1950 production year.
