	101 Forward Control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 101 Forward Control was a vehicle produced by Land Rover for the British Army.
		The vehicle was primarily produced to meet the Army's requirement for a gun tractor, and was designed to tow a field gun (the L118 Light Gun) with a ton of ammunition and other equipment in the rear load space, giving it the alternative name of the Land Rover One Ton.
		The official name of 101 Forward Control is derived from the vehicle's 101 inch wheelbase, and the position of the driver, above and slightly in front of the front wheels which used a fairly large 9.00"×16" tyre.

	Land Rover Forward Control 101 (FC101)
		The Land Rover Forward Control 101 (the 101 refers to the wheel base in inches) was built to satisfy a British Army requirement for an air-transportable heavy duty four wheel drive.
		The chassis was new to the 101 unlike the earlier (civilian) series IIA and series IIB forward controls Land Rovers that had shared the standard long wheel-base chassis and had ended up far too heavy and under powered as a result.
		The tension is adjusted by a nut, a spring and thrust washers on the take-up spool shaft.

		The Land-Rover Forward Control 101 was built for a British Army requirement for an air-transportable heavy duty four wheel drive.
		Forces between the 101 prime mover and the trailer, which can of course include both pushing and pulling, are transmitted through a flange on the trailer coupling which is locked in place by the chain mentioned before.
		The winch clutch on a forward control 101" is adjusted to ensure slippage between 2100 and 2200 kilogram force by delivery on cable load.

		Yet, arguably, the 101 Forward Control may be the most able vehicle to have ushered forth from Lode Lane.
		Shortening of the bellhousing and the first motion shaft allowed the gearbox to be moved further forward and thereby reducing the angles on the rear propshaft.
		As the 101 is so different to any other Land Rover, the only way it could be built with any sort of efficiency was to build in large batches on the existing Lode Lane assembly lines.

		The 109 and 110 Forward Control were the precursor's to the 101.
		The idea for the Forward Control was to combine the incredible 4wd mobility of other Land Rover models with a much greater load capacity.
		Land Rover redesigned the Forward Control with the introduction of the very successful military 101 Forward Control which was a giant leap compared with the 110 F.C. featuring the Range Rover's V8 engine, transmission, and Permanent 4wd.

		These are popular with buyers in the UK and other developed countries, who either use the vehicle for on-road duties such as towing or people-moving, or simply as an interesting alternative to an estate car.
		Basically a series IIb forward control built with a standard 109 body, featuring 2.6 L petrol engine, lower ratio gearbox, ENV front and rear axles, (Salisbury front and rear on series III) The chassis frame was unique to the model and featured drop shackle suspension similar to the military series Land-Rovers.
		The Land Rover has been used as the basis for several British Army vehicles including the Forward Control Model 101 in, the "Lightweight", and the FV18067 Ambulance.

		This area on a 101 is usually reserved for the spare tire.
		Obvious there are no speaker locations on the cargo area of a 101 Forward Control, but we made these units to blend in nicely, and still allow all the functions of the 101 drop sides, rear entry grab handles and more.
		The front speakers in the 101 are made into this trick panels that we fabricated for the corners of the footwells.

		After the introduction of the Forward Control Land-Rover, the standard Land-Rovers were referred to as the "Normal Control" (Rover) and "Bonneted Control" (British Leyland) to distinguish the two.
		The first Land-Rover Forward Control was based on the Land-Rover of the day: the Series IIA long wheel base, which has a wheel base of 109 inches.
		Some Forward Controls were fitted with a hydraulic winch driven from the power takeoff on the rear of the gearbox.

		In addition many of the 101 parts were the same as used as on other Land Rover vehicles at the time (brakes are from a Series III 1-ton, etc) so if the part is not unique to the 101, you may have luck sourcing some parts through a local vendor.
		I understand this also occurred to the 101 owner in Ohio whose name escapes me. The strip down showed that the top ball race was rusted allowing excessive wear to the point where there was enough space for the balls to escape from the race.
		The 101 with its vertical column is more prone to this problem than the Series vehicles which are at an angle and consequently get some "splash" lubrication by either the forward motion or offroading on hills or descents.

		Fortunately this little used 101 only has 1 layer of military green and one layer of tan (both sprayed), so stripping isn't as bad as it could be in a typical 12 layer, brushed on military paint job.
		If you've driven a 101 you know that your feet touch the doors a lot, so with the ultra tough Rhino-Lining on the doors, there won't be chance of the paint wearing off for rust to occur.
		We are also updating the alternator in the 101 to a high output units so that the electrical system can handle the winch and the lights, as well as the upcoming high output stereo system.

		The 101 Forward Control LandRover was built for the British Military from 1975 to 1978 with a number of preproduction models dating from 1972-1974.
		The driver is positioned at the very front of the vehicle with the engine located between the driver and passenger.
		Some 101's came with a unique transmission driven forestry winch whose 65 meter cable can be routed fore or aft of the vehicle though a frame mounted pulley system.

	Land Rover FAQ: Part IV, 101" Forward Control: Power Trailer
		The Ministry of Defense specification for the 101" Forward Control, a gun tractor for the 105" Light Gun, included a power driven trailer with a 1 tonne capacity off road.
		The idea was to have the 101 carry the 6 man crew with kit, the trailer carry 1 tonne of 105mm shells and then the gun would be towed behind the trailer.
		According to a 2nd hand source, the 101 and trailer was making a tight turn with the trailer drive engaged.

	LANDY: Land Rover 1 Tonne Forward Control 105mm Gun Tractor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Land Rover 101 Forward Control is a bit of a special beast - it was not available on the civilian market because it did not meet construction and use regulations - it was infact designed in conjunction with the British Army to meet the requirements for an air-portable (by helicopter) gun tractor.
		Story has it that the 101 production line remained intact, though un-used until very recently (as late as the mid 1990's) in case it was ever required again.
		In true LR tradition, the 101 shares its components with some other Land Rover products - including the early type Range Rover (gearbox and engine), Stage-1 V8 (a variant of the Series 3 LWB Land Rover which marked the initial moves towards updating the Land Rover) - which used similar axles, breaks, gearbox and engine.

	Rubery Owen Powered Trailer for Land Rover 101
		The production 101 uses the LT95 transmission with full time four wheel drive and centre differential as found in the original Range Rover.
		The LT95 was designed with the 101 and powered trailer in mind and permits the use of a "hot shift" power take off (PTO): this PTO rotates at the same speed as the prop-shafts regardless of whether hi-range or lo-range is selected.
		There are also reports of it causing roll overs: If the combination is jack knifed, the trailer can exert a strong side-ways push on the 101 at a height of nearly three feet and this can be sufficient to roll the latter in some conditions.

		It showed that the 101 certainly holds its own, especially given the atrocious conditions and that we were by far the largest vehicle there, but it is a bit heavy when side slopes and muddy hills are concerned!
		It was the least we could do to offer Bryans 101 to add to the display on the club stand, and while we were there, of course we picked up membership forms...

		he Land-Rover Forward Control 101 was built for a British Army requirement for a 1 ton payload heavy duty 4x4 vehicle with added capacity to tow a 1 ½ ton powered or dead axle trailer.
		The designation 101 represents the wheelbase of the vehicle, being 101 inches.
		An integral winch is often fitted to the vehicles, to aid in its main armed forces role of towing the 1.75 ton 105mm Howitzer, and this is a very useful piece of equipment.

		I bought an SIIA rolling chassis from Mike Ilsley in Johannesburg for R5500, based on these pictures that he sent me. I couldn't swing things to go and fetch the chassis, the people who were storing the thing got itchy, and I eventually sold it to Peter Broccardo, without seeing it.
		So now I'm the owner of Forward Control 288 00212B, a CKD shipped in 1963 or 1964, with 6485 miles on the odometer and a lot of abuse on the body.

		The power requirements were met by using the Rover V8, LT95 gearbox, and matching transfer case; which were already being used in the recently introduced Range Rover.
		Unlike the ill-fated IIA and IIB Forward Controls, a specially designed chassis was used.
		As with the 1/2 ton Lightweight, most of the body panels were detachable to allow further weight reductions for air transportation.

		I purchased this original 1978 bronze green 101 Forward Control with 500 miles (1 of only 7 in their original livery colors) last December with the intent of importing it to Texas.
		There was a "want" add in the Six Stud (no its not a gay magazine) which is the official 101 Club Magazine, requesting anyone with a unique vehicle to contact an individual (I did not know at the time it was LR) who represented an organization who was establishing a Classic LR driving museum.
		After several pictures were taken, I drove the 101 through the factory complex with much fan fare from the LR employees to the Land Rover Experience where the official hand over took place.
