Stu, Thanks for the info. I suspected they were 1 1/2" but I wasn't sure. The 6 lug x 8.75” bolt pattern is interesting as the Isuzu light trucks have the same pattern. Is this a common lug pattern? The torque setting seems excessive. I will have to ensure these wheel nuts are soaked in some...

Hi, Does anyone know the socket size required to remove the wheel nuts on a 1950 Fordson Thames ET6 truck? I am picking up a truck soon and I may have to change wheels to get it rolling. Thanks, ShaunG

Mercman, That's great info, thanks! They're just around the corner from my work. Shaun. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Pooch, That one doesn't look bad at all. Similar condition to mine. Where is it, in NSW? Hope someone saves it! Shaun. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Pooch, It would be interesting to find out the differences in the various engine models and manufacturer variances. I think compression ratios would be a big part of that. It seems there was quite a range of different specs. Shaun.

Mercman, Thanks for the info. I have seen this before and it is a good set of specifications on the standard trucks. I cant find any recent reference to Metropolitan Motors and there is certainly no Ford dealer at that address. It would be interesting to find out where my truck was originally...

Pooch, That seems like a good buy to me. I have been told this 24 bolt engine runs but I will need to spend some time checking it out before I try. Even though the 24 bolt isn't original equipment, I will stick with it as it is part of the trucks history. Shaun.

Pooch, Just out interest, about how much is a 221cui engine worth? Thanks, Shaun.

Pooch, Thanks for the info. This truck has a 24 bolt flat head (239cui) which I believe is unusual for the ET6 but maybe it is an Australian thing or it may have had an engine swap. Shaun. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Hi All, I am hoping someone can help me with information regarding the year model of a Fordson Thames ET6 truck originally sold in west Queensland Australia. It is a 2 tonne model with a 'Ford' 'Made In England' manufacturers plate with : Model No. ET6 and Engine No. 7222299. These are the only...

Hey, I'm new to the forum. I stumbled across your thread looking for Fordson ET6 info. How is the 91T coming along? It's a great looking truck. ShaunG.
