About 30 years ago when I was on plant I got a call out to Exeter, a lowloader had turned up with some machines to unload.The driver had just picked up the load and was not a lowloader driver, he drove tankers usually.He had been asked to deliver a Barber Green and a rubber wheeled roller. He was stuck, had no knowledge of plant whatsoever.So he contacted the firm I worked for as we were the largest company in Exeter and only a few miles from the driver. So I was dispatched to unload the machines for him.I gave him a hand to unchain the load and unloaded both machines. He was chuffed to bits as he may have been stuck there for hours.
He then took me to a nearby cafe for a very large fryup and gave me a £5 for getting him out of a spot.
Happy days
Martyn

Hello chaps,
Thanks for posting the photo Fred, the controls look the same as my earlier post also
If only all jobs were that easy eh Martyn, sounds like it was worth it just for the fryup
