paulob1 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Okay the boys were off to collect a small 24 volt geny from Near Whitby that I was planning on using to jump start the trucks when they are away from mains power plus a mobile home ready for the volunteers to overnight in. Long journey I know but its also an involved story, not for on here for now. Anyway they have broken down, the drive shaft carrier bearing has failed, I bet it has not been greased for an age. I was under there today and never noticed any problem with it. They are stuck just off the motorway and awaiting a repair from A.E. Wilson who will try to source the bearing tomorrow and fix it...then the boys can carry on their journey...here's hoping all will be okay.

Hope they have got it fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militant-nick Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Used to deal with A E Wilson on a regular basis a few years back, always gave good service. They occupy the old control tower on Sandtoft airfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
