No Peter, its just a nice old pic. I scanned from a book.
From your remarks you must have hung upside down in the guts of the old BTD 20s too, that shaft in the bottom was a heavy awkward lump to handle.
It had to be shimmed to set up the bevel gear and to preload the bearings too.
Were those realy the good old days.
I'm restoring a TD 18 at the moment, shes 1942, just one year younger than me. "I'll never learn."

Re: Denis's TD24 Drott
I wonder if the loader frame has a tag on it?If it were a fit for the 24,the number would possibly be something like A24K3...or similar.
Is the machine still in Central Vic? I'd love to see it..
