Bump.

I have some EB manuals in paper form but Croc who used to be on here scanned them and put them on Facebook. 🥴 My bad, I forgot that Steve (Croc) did copy the scanned EB manuals to me. Thanks Steve ! I'll send them to you tomorrow along with other stuff.

Fantastic work and open to all ! Needs a section on Eager Beavers though 😁

Mark, I know of folk that live in Facebook but that's not for me or many others. I also know folk who do use this and other forums purely as a source to feed the Facebook habit, many do not contribute to the forums. I think it is well known that Facebook is having a negative effect on specialist forums in general. Each to their own.

Interesting subject, hopefully all images will be on here as not everyone uses Facebook and it would be a shame to undermine this forum.

It looks like a tube or tubes have been removed, does anyone have any idea what type they are ?

Bump. All still available.

So nice to find things that seem impossible and then sadly rip open the package. I wonder if it is possible to find the correct wire and rewind these ? This thread has so far had 747 views, shows how interested folk are ! Keep it coming, we are out here and many are quietly learning with you as well.

It's been a while since all this was sorted and I thought I should update with the who did what... The starter was exchanged by ICS Online of Preston, https://startermotorsalternators.com/ The clutch plates were relined by Jim Jack Services of Cumbernauld, https://www.jimjackservices.co.uk/ The EB flywheel was sorted by Precision Engineering Services of Inverness, https://www.precisionengineservices.co.uk/ All were a pleasure to deal with and went out their way to help !

Love it, if only my Landy was sold !

I was thinking that. I may be wrong but the 432 drivers weather hood wiper motor uses the same power supply and would be able to use them both together.🤔 Not sure why you would though...

Worth a try with warm water and a soft brush and/or rag. Hopefully.

For those Guys-n-Gals looking to check an LGV status, it does not show up on the Gov status check but does on the MOT History checker, an LGV anomaly it seems. https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/

I have just done the same and looked up some including Millies, to find them taxed and no MOT. You know who you are, there is no excuse !

Is it really meant as a can holder ? I was always led to believe it was for a radio, it would be nuts to deliberately carry fuel internally never mind in that position. I've never known the MOD to have such crazy ideas 🤭

I would say that the Jerry-can holder between the front seats is an interesting feature. 😂

I think I am OK posting the manual for downloading. It maybe of interest to someone. Operator's Manual for T-62 Tank.pdf

Hi Jitse, Thank you for posting I have only just become aware. It is wonderful news that you are researching this. I am not on Facebook but you can PM me on here and I'll pass on my email etc. Hopefully others will be in touch also. As for when they came ashore all my father said was that they were looked after by the locals for quite a while until the Germans came looking for them. I get the impression that the locals did not want to voluntarily give up the survivors but were persuaded by the survivors not to oppose the Germans and suffer for it. He had a great affection for them. The official account is that the Vessel missed a rendezvous and was attacked and sunk. Maybe. My father and his brother were adamant that the vessel was deliberately used as a decoy. I spoke to both and they were there and should know, my father spent the next 5 years as a pow with the other RN crew and if there was any doubt surely he would be aware. We may never know for sure.

Has anyone else gone through this since, there were some folk looking into it. How did it go ? I still suspect there are false declarations being made or are these kind of trucks being left off road ?

It's been a while but just to clarify that this process did resulted in the issue of a plating certificate. It came later in the post!

Hi Mike, No that's the PTO for the winch, it's chain driven. The output for the third axel was taken from the cover plate above it that is often used for an overdrive unit. The bit that sticks out to the rear is the torque limiter for the winch output.

Thanks Richard, I have loved having it and will regret letting it go but I don't do any miles and it just sits being pampered. The 6x6 are impressive but the GVW is a bit much for here. I would still like one though, maybe...

A few more...

Some picture I have taken today.

An interesting article telling the Perentie story. Hopefully its OK to post ! p52-65 Perentie.pdf This is the Australian government agency "Australian Frontline Machinery", database of manuals. All vehicle manuals available to download. https://afmsafety.com.au/safety/termsandconditions/database/#LR4X4ALL
