Hi what engines does it have? Does it have a screw lift jib or is it winch and rope luffing.

I have straightened some of that type of skate, they do not like uneven concrete. Even for just a little truck you will find by the time you have jacks, axle stands blocks, and wheel chocks, they use up a lot of gear.

Axle stands and wheel skates.

One step forward and two back. You will get there in the end.

Paul Brook Restoration in Appleby Cumbria has some tin ware for sale he may have what you are looking for. He has some QL stuff as well including glass.

24V, eleven tooth pinion, end bracket can be rotated to fit either side of engine. NATO stock number, (01) 95705541044428(30)000001. Part number, CAR GO 110347

I have one of these with the cable.

You can get different widths of flap but it is the 20 part that is in the description that matters.

Those are the wrong tubes, you need long stem 90 degree valves.

Perhaps the newer ones read to reserve on the gauge in red.

Sorry this is not what this forum is about in my opinion, Chill out please.

Two other things to look out for with the extra width tyres. Tyres catching on full lock, and the tread foot print. You may have to adjust the tyre pressure to get the correct ground contact and not just centre contact.

Watch changing tyre sizes you may have to do paperwork. Check with testing station first. Price seems heavy.

Perhaps they were to be used to decontaminate in case of gas use, as radio active fallout was not really known about during WW2. Or maybe against parasite's.

Its been a while since we had an update, hope everything is well.

Its on now, he has done all of the hard work to a very high standard working under difficult conditions.

Yes I remember the Scania combo. I don't think they offer it any more. Volvo are now offering that combination. With the L60 the supercharger gives low speed induction air pressure positive flow and when the turbo's get up to speed they take it to the limit. but I notice there is no mention of an intercooler package. This would have put the induction air temperature above the optimum for best power from the package. A standard Leyland 680's favourite trick was to suck the bits of turbo that broke off in and spit them into the silencer. Balancing turbocharger spools in those days was not the science it is today. Roots blowers if the revs get to high suffer from rotors kissing as the lobes elongate. Of coarse there was the Foden FD6 mk V11 4.8 litre which was supercharged and turbocharged but I think they were only around the 225 bhp range. They only had a single turbo. Stretching the memory now.

It looks like a supercharger turbo compound set up. same as GM use.

Working like that they would need specifically designed bearings and impellers.

Got a picture?

I had P brackets and shafts once from one my father salvaged in the river Coquet. As usual someone stole them. I do not know what happened to the boat after he passed away I went back and it had gone. There was a V drive in the hull.

Hi Scania 111 pretty bullet proof. I only had a 96 4x2 would pull way out of its class. Had a 112 6x2 tag another good truck, I made the mistake of trading it in for a 113 6x2 tag. I ran some Magirus Deutz 232 dump trucks they were thirsty but worked their socks off. I used to say they was powered by a V8 motor bike engine, that air cooled lump.

They just got it sorted at the end of its service life. Multi fuel is a whole other engineering world. Liner seals or the lack of are still a problem no matter what make of engine. A reciprocating engine that is expected to run at max revs and power from start up is always going to have a high maintenance/attrition rate, compared to normal use ones. That is were alternative power sources have to be looked at but they come with their own problems. I am sure that I read somewhere that the Chieftains gave better availability in the first gulf war than the Challengers. I wonder which mark of L60 they were fitted with, and why that was.

Scavenge blown by 2 lobe Roots type blower, trials with a 3 lobe. These are the days before screw type blowers. 19 lts for up to 600 bhp target impressive for its time, but now would expect 750 plus from 16 lts 4 stroke. But as with the Napier Deltic and Foden FD6 also the Tillings and StephensTS3 engine a light weight compact engine with high power output was the goal. Designers trying to get the proverbial quart from a pint pot. GM engines used a blower and turbocharger set up, but still could not get the emissions down to modern acceptable levels.

I have not heard anything, It has 2 GMs fitted. I have not been back for a while.
