I have just got my loyd tracked starting and charging back from New Zealand and I am hoping to rebuild with the S&C gear. A lot of work has already been done before I bought it, but still plenty to do. Luckily I am 30minutes from Alastair who knows just about everything about Loyd's and has sorted many of the problems I would have ran into.
The Loyd was built by Vivian Loyd & Co and the brake drums are dated 42.
I have got a few parts stashed away Including a good flathead V8 as I was told the engine with it is on +60tho cylinders.

Hi Simon. We were only talking about you and your trailer this afternoon.
Thanks for the offer, I will probably take you up on it after harvest.
At the moment I was hoping someone could give me some information on the trailer from the numbers, e,g, age and manufacturer.

Just got a GS to go with the mortar.
Looks very original with just the eye cut. Bit of rot but still traces of the div signs.
Chassis N,o,A3253/879
WD N,o,X5439529
Cont N,o,23/2487
Any one got any info on these numbers?

Hi Maurice.
Just had a quick look through Nigel Watson's book and it dose appear that all the carriers with these plates welded on have had the smoke discharge brackets removed.
Thanks for the help.
Peter.
I am working on my Carrier hull and need some help/advice.
It is a MK1* which I am rebuilding as a MK2 upgrade I am trying to position the plates to attach the wading sides and the front left side one covers the holes for the smoke discharge bracket.
How was this done originally?
Thanks Peter.
Thanks for the reply.
The ebay links aren't what I am looking for but the last link dose show the parts I am looking for. Thanks for posting, useful link!

I am looking for an insulator that screws on the ground spike with the aerial screwed in to it, for the British 34 ft aerial.
Also need a ground spike for an number 11 insulator as pictured.

The bacteria can form if you have water in your tank in a thin layer of air between the water and diesel. It is jet black and can block a new filter in less than an hour. Usually occurs in storage tanks. There are additives you can add to the tanks when filling.
We had this problem in a storage tank and never did get one tractor running to full power again.

I would think the rotation stop on yours would be a circle with a section cut out of the rim to stop the tap in line with the inlets. Then the spring and nuts would be the same as mine.
Good use!😀

I have an original front lower hull plate with top angle iron £50.
A pair of reproduction Stacey tow arms. They are copied off original British fabricated ones and mount a standard 3ton truck spring and hitch £300
A choke leaver and cable. There has been some extra notches cut in and the cable will need remaking £200.

Hi Mike.
I was told by an old tire fitter that US tires have a different profile on the beading and need to be reshaped with a knife to fit British rims. I would check this first before you start cutting!
