Coles Crane

Enjoyed reading that Andy, I remember the cleetrack, we got one at Watton for the b29s, but I left before they arrived. Those Matadors, did you drain the water in the winter, I never liked them as I had to stand up to depress the clutch, however once moving you never needed it, by a careful judgment of engine revs, changing gear was a doddle. Cannot remember now, but wasn’t there a 3 ton version of the Coles? I also seem to recall on some models the prime mover engine drove the generator and others had a seperate engine behind the cab.
