The impressive specification includes a Turner 5C-4008 heavyduty 5-speed gearbox to cope with all types of operating conditions, and a rugged 14,000 lb drop-forged steel I-Beam front axle.
Single or two-speed rear axles provide a match for the most punishing jobs. 9.00 x 20 14 PR, 10.00 x 20 14 or 16 PR, or radial steel cord tyres. and disc wheels match the new G VW and the greater power output of the new engine.
A diaphragm spring clutch, 13 in. diameter, is standard equipment. The improved braking system now incorporates emergency braking on all six wheels. Reservoir capacity and front brake lining areas have been increased, and a larger (5.25 in. dia.) master cylinder helps to provide more powerful retardation.
Power steering greatly reduces driver fatigue and provides precise manoeuvrability on the most uneven terrain.
All these features are standard with the new Ford tandems; there is also an impressive list of optional equipment designed to meet individual operators' needs.
And rememberthese are Ford's own tandems, designed as tandems. All are sold and warranted by Ford to work reliably, efficiently and economically up to the plated GVW of 20 tons.
