Fwd Su Coe
My Brother has bought an FWD SU COE Tractor. Time to find lots more information
 Does anyone has more information about this vehicle? We already found some manuals today, but that´s just a start. It is a former Danisch vehicle. The intention is to make a combination with the Signal Corps Van Semitrailer (Fruehauf Trailer Model K-78A) and Dolly K-83. Cheers, Arjan van der Hoek

Here are some pictures. More will follow.
The body on the back does not belong to this vehicle. Cheers, Arjan

This is a picture from "Canada's Fighting Vehicles Europ 1943-1945" of a FWD SU COE
 The combination would approx look like this.  Are there any other known FWD SU COE Tractor known? And what kind of trailers are they towing? Who has some old pictures of this vehicle? Cheers, Arjan

Arjan,
Congratulations to your brother. There is an FWD Su-COE with AEC Matador rear body in the Liberty park museum, Overloon. Also the club RAL 7......., well, the number for Olive Drab, from the surrounings of Rotterdam has an FWD SU-COE, but I am not sure which body it has. This last one will be on display at the Delft Legermuseum on sunday 21st of October. Alex

The body on the FWD appears to be from a CMP LAAT. Does the rest of the vehicle exist, or is the body surplus to requirements?

I personally have never seen any reference to Signal Corps Van Semitrailers towed by FWD´s in Canadian use. Would make a great combo on to see on the road, though. Hanno

Found these pictures here which, though small, show a number of FWD SU with several bodies but only a GS semi-trailer - lots more interesting shots there too - anybody know the identity of the poster?
Great photos from Al Nickolson - but is that a full trailer ? Noel Last edited by Noel Burgess; October 14th 2007 at 08:53.

SU-COE chassis number
Talking to a friend today, who is not on MLU, he told me he was restoring a SU-COE artillery tractor with metal body. He needs to know if and where the chassis number is stamped. The identification plates are missing, but he hope someone may know if the numbers were stamped in the chassis.
