Hi CM and everyone,

Merry Christmas to all

May all your wishes come true

I think a twenty two 
 

Looks bigger than a 22 Daryl
Wild guess a Cat 75 ..

Looking at the top tank, the placement of the air cleaner, style of precleaner and where the fuel tank is. Late RD6!

I did not realize it snowed in England. Looks like a lot.

Must have been some of those snow flurries around Manchester!! 😊 😊

I'm sorta thinking that is a vintage snapshot or scan from a brochure . Notice the border and the fading color. Possibly 1950's thru 1970's.

Photo - looks very much like it was scanned from a book or other printed materials.
Trying to look closely, pretty FLAT county and based upon the way the snow is pushed from the "V" Plow, it has been sitting for a while and is "WET", not dry cold country powder.
Machine looks like it may have a Left Hand Wing too.
NO snow covering any portions of the Cat - makes me believe it was a Photo OP shot taken during cold/clear weather.
Electric Lights shining brightly, but where are the "wipers"?
Usually, "V" plows were used for pushing through drifts or opening roads, cast both directions, so if trying to clear a roadway going both directions, one loses half the width of the plow.
Radiator Cap - is the oblong held down with the spring.

We all wait for the answer - maybe a Christmas Present?

Merry Christmas all,
"keep 'em crawlin"

8D-132. I agree with You. YOU’RE THE WINNER !!!!!.   The File was named RD6 Late 1950s.  Talking of where does Time go. How many years have you Known me ?, Must have been 25 Years ago When I first spoken on the Cell Phone with you. Pre Internet.

Photos of my D6 2H 1936, Purchased in California and been used on same farm from new. Engine Brass Plate on Crank Ground, been well maintained and was still used for 2 weeks Mole Draining after I paid for it. Then loaded up to bring home. I still have the Canopy, removed to load into a Tin Can for shipping. We used the D6 to track in brick hardcore around the Roadway etc.  I have the Hyster Winch and Light set which I plan to add. 

I Do have a Question 8D-132, When Did the Fuel Cap Change from Cast Iron to Aluminium Type ?? or was it the other way around ??

[size=100]8C361. I just Done a Google Search on Snake Pass over the Pennines.  Heavy Snow Perils see Snake Pass Closed up to 70 Days a Year. Traffic Incidents and poor weather leave their marks in this part of the country.

 D4Jim.  Yes your right we do get a Snow Flurry here in Manchester.  I have always lived on the North Side of Manchester Centre.  We have the Pennines and Saddleworth Moor with Permanent  Warning Signs for SNOW and Roads Closed over Bad Weather.

We have not had any Proper Snow for about 30 years. I can remember about 35 years ago I was out in my Lightweight Series 3 Ex Military Landrover with a mate of mine, Out for a drive in the snow. I was trying to follow a 8 Wheel Truck with Flashing Lights Snow Blower on the Front.  Proper High Snow solid walls like 8ft Hight after the Blower been throu. Snow Drifts of the Fields.  My Ground Clearance was not enough to follow them truck lines. And for anyone who knows there Landrovers. My Windscreen Wipers did not Help LOL. 

Going out playing around in the snow in 4X4,  we used to have Bedding, Pillows, and Hot Drinks in Flasks. I can remember this night there where people dying after being trapped in there Cars on the M62 Motorway over the Tops.  I ended up Stuck in a Snow Rut behind that 8 Wheel snow blower. My mate looked at me, saying its Cold outside and I had ice on my eye brows from looking out side the window to see where I was driving.   We ANIT Driving Home FACT.  ½ Mile to the Main Road there was a PUB opposite the Junction called Waggon and Horses.  So we knocked on the Door, and asked if there was any spare room in the INN !!.  We spent the night nice and warm with Coal Fire burning.  Blankets and Free Whiskies.   Public Free House PUB. Life saver for sure.  It was full that night from people stranded in the snow. Nice Full English Breakfast on the House in the morning with fresh Coffee Too. Saying there would not have any passing trade today due to the snow. So its all On the House.  I often used to call back for a meal and thank them for that night.

Today we have lost like 80 percent plus of our Traditional Pubs. Used to act as Landmarks for giving traffic directions. Like turn left at the Railway Inn, and a Right after the Waggon and Horses.  Now its, Pubs gone, it’s a Curry House and a Funeral Directors. Guessing its Cold in the Cellers ideal for both businesses. 

Photos unloading some spare parts from my SANTA LIST.  Full 40ft Tin Can unloaded in the snow, and snowing at home.
