BillS Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Most Bedford MK light recovery vehicles that I have seen have dual rear wheels, yet according to the sources that I have to hand the track measurement for these is the same as that for the standard Bedford MK cargo vehicle. A silly question perhaps, but can anyone tell me whether the rear axle on the light recovery vehicles, and other Bedford MK variants with dual rear wheels, is the same as that normal (four wheel) Bedford cargo? If it is, how are the dual wheels fitted, and how is it possible to do this without increasing the track measurement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 From memory I am pretty sure it is only the rear hubs that are different. The MJ Recovery (there was no MK recovery) has dual 9.00 tyres and the normal MJ has 12.00. The MK and MJ tippers were also on 9.00 tyres with duals on the rear.

BillS Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Thanks Richard, that's helpful. I knew the Bedford Tankers and the Bedford drilling rig used by the Royal Engineers also had duals on the rear, but I hadn't realised that the tipper did. I might have to go and revisit a model of it that I made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Sorry, I had a brain fart, it was the RL tippers that had dual rears, MK and MJ tippers had singles. Yes the Hands England drilling rig was definitely on duals, I have worked on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
