ANEW 8-ft. 4-in. wheelbase forwardcontrol tractor unit manufactured by Dodge Bros. (Britain), Ltd., makes its first appearance today on the company's stand at the Scottish Motor Show, Kelvin Hall, Glasgow. The vehicle shown has a Leyland 0.375-cu.-in. direct-injection oil engine with outputs of 110 b.h.p. at 2,400 r.p.m and 285 lb.-ft. torque at 2,400 r.p.m. Other engines available for the tractor are the Leyland 0.350 and the Perkins R6.
On all models the drive passes through a 14-in.-diameter clutch with hydraulic release Mechanism to a five-speed con
stant-mesh gearbox. The rear axle is an Eaton 18,500 two-speed unit in which the ratios are selected eleetrically. The standard braking system for the vehicle has vacuum assistance, but the vehicle on show has the optional air-hydraulic equipment.
Tyres are 8.25-20 in. (12-ply) all round and a 35-gal. fuel tank is standard. The tractor is designed to carry a fifth-wheel coupling and can be used with semitrailers up to 26 ft. It is rated for a gross combination weight of 19 tons and can therefore accommodate semi-trailers carrying a 12-ton payload.
