Crikey you were lucky to be ok after a trip thru the winda. how did you get it cleared up, was it a road blocking police job or or a local recovery wagon on a quiet lane.
Your photos seem to have been attached but have no content.

Yeah I was really lucky. Fortunately they were silaging next door so we just pulled it over with a chain.

I am back to square one now. I'm going to take everything apart and restore the full Mog. It's been a really good assist to my business and I am going to Gretna tractor soon to do the towing work and make the Mog into a winch tractor!

Have you managed to find another cab if not I will keep a look out down this end for a cab for you. Could you make an insurance claim & get a cab from Atkinsons?

Cheers for the reply mate!
Yeah I was thinking about getting the 416 and breaking it as it would make more sense. I am.also thinking about just sorting the bottem and welding a cage for the top and a perspex window and replacing the roof when I find one.
I couldn't believe the price of Vos for a reconditioned cab!
