  1. Out of curiosity is there a need to have this drive shaft balanced? What sort of revs are required to run the generator or does the generator run at? or do the flange couplings take care of this? Do they(flange couplings) have a rubber component?
  2. There must be room for a Servant or Batman in the officers ration pack, to cook his meals :whistle:
  3. See here, seller has two http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/pratts-2-gallon-petrol-can-brass-cap-vintage-garage-automobilia-/112197062878?hash=item1a1f7750de:g:6N8AAOSwo4pYIIZU
  4. You could try Power Components at Westbourne, had a starter motor and dynamo rebuilt there, albeit for a tractor. Telephone number is 01243 378460, don't take a large vehicle as not easy to get in or out of.
  5. Not too sure if this is quite what you are looking for as industrials normaly had a jaw similar to MOD type, incomplete though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=302052817730#ht_500wt_1288 scroll through the photos to see rear end for height adjustable hitch picture http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Barn-find-Standard-Fordson-N-tractor-/152184856904?hash=item236eeca148:g:UVQAAOSwXeJXfn~S For exhaust and other parts try this person, as Cox and Turner Engineering, they do a lot of parts for F's and N's http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/coxie99/m.html?item=381720054096&hash=item58e049c950%3Ag%3AIJ0AAOSwoJZXSpBu&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
  6. That is an old "C" licence or "Carriers Licence" - used during the war, I think and for a few years after! Quite a few years after, I have some with expiry dates of 1940, 1953 and 1957, for the same vehicle (JT 2486) For another vehicle (HTX 271) an expiry date of 1965. The C licence was for carrying goods in connection with a trade or business. To carry for hire or reward required an A or B licence. I have a few B licences, expire 1962 and 1964, for the vehicle mentioned above(JT 2486), these are annotated with an operating radius of ten miles. The name on them would be the user as a name/company name and not necessarily the owner, unless owner/operator. Superseded/updated by the current operators licence at some point in the past. I expect one or two military vehicles acquired these in civilian life, all part of their history.
  7. A bit of plagiarism (book title) Eats shoots and leaves
  8. What does the B/91 signify? Where it is based or the Command it comes under? Is the Command/group the number RAF1234 etc? Presumably this is the vehicles registration/census number as per the Z number on Army trucks? Thanks in advance :-)
  9. Thank you chaps, I didn't know they were repainted for war service With tongue firmly in cheek................Were they duck egg blue underneath
  10. Was blue used pre war and post war?
  11. What colour/s where they? as per Army vehicles following their respective colour changes as the war progressed? When did the blue colour come in?
  12. Point taken, it wouldn't be much of a show with out MV etc owners let alone the paying public. It takes two to tango though, so to speak. No MV's etc no show, no public no show. Paying for MV's to attend could make for an interesting admission charge to the public :shocked: Unfortunately it always devolves to money in the end, but the choice is yours as to how you spend it......... or not. I'm not an MV owner, so not an issue for me being a "nice to have, by-product"
  13. Why does the organiser have to grasp the concept of a social event? It may be to you, fair do's, but to them the show has to be a paying prospect otherwise there is not much point in putting it on, same for the traders too. Try walking around as a member of the public, you may see it in a different light. It wouldn't be much of a show without your "by product"
  14. I remember these, although not too well as I started with Southern Electricity in 1982. Trekmaster was the name that eventually came to mind. A quick google search produced this; http://sebvehicles.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/seb-uaz-452-trekmaster.html
  15. [quote=Mk3iain;461696 I am unsure about the fuel injection pump. The oil level hole had a plastic plug waiting for a fitting on installation. As it was a completely different Bosch pump that came off my only reference is the pump on spares Milly and this has a banjo fitting but it is just the union with no pipe attached and so the void is open to atmosphere. How should this be ? Is this just left open which seems wrong as oil would just splash out or should it be plumbed into somewhere or even plugged? I cannot tell by looking at parts books or manuals..... Many thanks Iain All I could picture was a Simms Minimec in-line pump(not knowing what type you have fitted) and suspect that this would be for the pump overflow pipe, it would probably have a short piece of pipe attached to the banjo union pointing down. From a Ford 2700 range service manual- "The camshaft and governor housing are filled with engine oil through a filler plug on top of the governor housing. Fuel oil leakage from the plungers mixes with this oil, the surplus being drained by an overflow pipe at the front of the injection pump" Not very environmentally friendly really, I suppose you could divert in to an oil catch tank and dispose of when carrying out maintenance/inspections.
  16. They look very much like agricultural hitch lower link arm ball guides see here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141849932914?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT although these have the ball ends attached
  17. Are they an amalgam of 7V brake drums and Lloyd specific parts? I'm presuming the brake drums themselves are Fordson ones bolted inside the Lloyd drum/sprocket carrier?
  18. You could try http://www.vintagebrassplates.co.uk/
  19. How does the foot pedal work? Up, down or other?
  20. When I was at school I'm sure we were taught that you rubbed aluminium all over with soap then heat it up until the soap goes black, see here http://steamshed.com/annealing%20process.html
  21. Orolo tracks were designed/manufactured by Roadless Traction of Hounslow. see Roadless by Stuart Gibbard.
  22. Who did you use for metal fabrication/bending?
  23. They look like Ford sidevalve engine mounts for E93A type engine. How big are they?
  24. I stand corrected with regards the engine/exhaust position, wrong source/respected publication for me :blush: I should have looked on facebook!
  25. Agree with the Fowler Challenger part but as a Fowler Challenger 3, my source indicates that these were fitted with a Leyland 0.600 engine. Fowler Challenger 4 was fitted with a Meadows engine. Yellow/orange(y) paint would indicate civilian use. Not a very common tractor
