Ian L Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 New bearings have been sorted ouch ! and have the bulkhead and other bits back from being soda blasted :-D [ATTACH=CONFIG]84003[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]84004[/ATTACH] looks a lot better without all that old paint and rust have given it all an etch primer and undercoat to protect the metal until I start repairing various amounts of rust damage. Hi Jeremy really good progress mate well done, I'm interested in the 'soda blasting' you had done as it sounds like the way to go with my QL cab. where did you get it done or do they come to you ? and is it better that the traditional shot blasting which I find can be a bit 'hit & miss' cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hi Ian its a bit of a long story I'll pm you the details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yes I see what you mean they are not so well cast as the brackets sorry matey looks like your gonna have lots of therapy filing them into shape :cool2: As I said I think they are too small to be cast in sand and maybe we should have gone for the lost wax method. At least we have them to start work on which is the main thing and I'm sure that they will look great when finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Frustrating day in't shed as I realised there is way too much play on the clutch pedal have taken the gearbox and clutch out to see what's going on and have posted a question about my problem in the I may be stupid but category :red: gearbox out :undecided: Clutch fork does not seem to be bent and was fitted ok, after release bearing and fork removed I could feel a lot of slack in the clutch release fingers, this diminished as I undid the bolts holding the clutch to the fly wheel. re fitted clutch without friction disc replaced clutch fork and play had disappeared ?????

Scammell4199 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hi, how have you found soda blasting? I looked into starting a business doing that. It doesn't cut out rust, but makes a good job of paint stripping with no risk of panel warpage. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeePig Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Got the wheels back from soda blasting today and have given then a primer [ATTACH=CONFIG]82878[/ATTACH] OK, not quite sure what the weld is for, but that looks like a crack to me. Is that weld holding on a stud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampant rivet Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Came across a very sad MW today I think this one is a bit beyond rescue but I will try and save any parts before its cut up for scrap, found this - Nice looking passenger side fuel tank but not all is as it seems :cry: it felt a little on the heavy side - out with the grinder and MOUSE NEST !!! it was full of hazel nuts and one mouse !! oh well never mind at least it had the correct fuel tap still on it which will come in usefull :-D Edited December 6, 2013 by rampant rivet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayjo56 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Come on Jeremey, you could restore that!:nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) The tank or the MW ? :-D Better news about the clutch as it seems wear in the ball and clutch fork plus a missing washer accounted for the extra travel, will know more when its all back together again hopefully this will solve the problem. Come on Jeremey, you could restore that!:nut: Edited December 9, 2013 by rampant rivet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Did a bit of recycling today :nut: managed to save a few bits but most has gone too far Not sure what this is water pump MWC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'd be severely tempted to take all of that home and throw a sheet over it till your restoration was complete. I predict there will be something you need to use on that, at least for a pattern, before you are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Took a van full home today:cool2:, would need a chain saw to get the rear axle free :wow: many parts were rotten but good enough for patterns, grab handle was good also other bits n bobs.

Hi Jeremy, It looks like to me that it should be fitted on the gear box. So who knows maybe a later waterpump...?? Cheers, Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) It's a transmission PTO mounted pump of some sort, but I agree with the comment on the other three that it is hydraulic rather that air or water - both would have much bigger cylinders. If I had to guess, PTO hydraulic pump from something like a Dodge D60S 3 ton tipper - just a guess though. :cool2: I think the air pumps and hydraulic pumps used the same PTO and gear, they would interchange where that flange is. Wouldn't be surprised if the hydraulic pump section at least was salvageable. Edited December 14, 2013 by Gordon_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 The hydraulic pump is likely to be for standard tipping gear fitted by Bedford to their "O" types. It looks to be a "Weston" four cylinder type, made by Sunsaloon Bodies Ltd. in Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Funny you should mention Weston tipping gear as I found this plate on a rectangular box of gubbins, it looks like most of the tipping gear is lying around the MW. Just gave it a quick clean to see what was on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Nicky as promised here are a couple of pics of the windscreen remains Looks a bit scabby but the brackets and wing nuts look ok as does the uprights though glass frames are not good.

rampant rivet Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Found these as well not sure what they are though I did wonder if this was the remnants of an engine splash guard and this - Was attached to the bulkhead :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Thanks Do you happen to have any pics of a complete one to help me reproduce them, I have the other side I think also. This is a pic of the underside of the other splash guard, again could do with some decent pics and dims of this as well, I found both festering away under the chassis probably removed along with the engine years ago.
