As it happens, I think I might have a JSP 371 or something similar.

John

John JSP 371 is the the Joint Service Manual on Pest Control.

JSP 71 is in two volumes

Yes JSP71

Jim as a follower of the thread just interested to know how you fixed it?

Ah ok thanks for that Citroman

Thanks for the various suggestions. The inner filter is indeed a fine blue foam but the outer is entirely folded paper.

What struck me odd was that the markings at each end were in the same relative positions, suggesting it was something to do with the way they should be fitted in, but that must just be a coincidence.

I have just replaced both the Donaldson air filters in my Wolf. I have not noticed this before, but at each end of both filters it is marked >PUR<

It looks as if it is important to be marked in this way, but I can see no special structural difference or keyway that the marking might indicate.

I have goggled but found nothing. Any ideas please?

Jim I had a similar problem on a Pig once. The main fuse strip had melted because one of the screws holding the spare fuses had loosened & was making contact with one of the fuse terminals. But there were obvious signs of smoke debris as well as the loose retaining screw.

I'm sure you realise that the red charge light will illuminate to indicate a maximum charge rate of  5A when the top cap is unscrewed. When replaced it should be fully screwed in to press the input & output wading covers to press down on the micro-switches & establish the full charge rate..

Here's the scan. The figures on the right are the prices achieved & the other figures are what the dealer was prepared to bid. He didn't seem to have been too successful on this page.

I don't know that there was a sale on 31/12/62 perhaps it was the date that it was struck off census?

59RB00 was sold on the second day of Sale No.68 on Wed 24/4/63 Lot No.706 for £450

Kem the only picture I have of it is preserved at a show next to a Green Goddess, I expect you have seen that.

Sorry no prices on this page.

Here you go. I believe the annotations are the hammer prices rather than the buyer's bids. Note 313 Champ sold for £15 marked "No" so it must have been a bit rough & obviously not on this buyer's shopping list.

A couple of years ago I spoke to Mr Hanson of W,W & H and asked him how did they calculate the reserve price? He said it was based on previous sales of similar vehicles. Dealers obviously knew this and found it helpful to record prices from previous sales to tailor their bids accordingly.

Phil, 16BH45 sold for £60 as did the one before 08BC68 & after 11BC51

Kem, I have no price for 59AM19 I'm afraid

I see 00 FK 83 had signage over the cab, below is an alternative on 00 FK 50

Matthew assuming you are looking for a hazard switch mod in EMER WHEELED VEHICLES V 627, I cannot find such a mod listed in my 1983 detailed index EMER WHEELED VEHICLES A 001.

It doesn't detail Mod Nos 1 - 62. But I see turn lights were introduced in Mod No.74 so any hazard switch must post date that. So there are details of Mod Nos 63-124 but no hazard switch.

Are you sure that this was an in-service mod? Although I suppose it might have been covered for limited use in an LTI (Local Technical Instruction) or Local EMEI eg N.Ireland, BAOR etc?

Richard,  I doubt that any of those publications would be found on-line Your best bet is to visit the REME Museum, they are most likely to hold any of those.

Tim, that is superb.

Phew! It has taken an hour to get the web page to refresh so that I can add Associated Publications.

Due to my appalling internet speed of about 50kbs or worse I can only see the lead picture. From what I can see it looks a fairly complete item from circa 1955 and would be a nice project as it is quite a rare thing.

Body, Water Tank, 100 Gallon, Mk I (Mounted on Trailer 1/2 Ton, 2 Whld, Mk I

UHB is WO Code No.17833

Bit of a shock.

I may be able to tell you the price as quite a lot of my catalogues are from a dealer who often wrote in the hammer price. I also have some double sized catalogues used by the auctioneers to record the price, but I can't access my archives at the moment.

I'm somewhere else today so I'll see if I can post it.

I used to own it. It had some interesting and very rare features. The broken off stud welds around the front sides were where FVRDE experimented with removable mesh and angle iron shields to prevent things being rolled under the vehicle I have never seen this on any other Pig. The rear door tops were once hinged down, there is only one other Pig that has this feature was also at FVRDE. Yours did have a barricade ram, it had it when I bought it from the Tank Museum as they thought it was a Mk2, which it ain't. Other features are the external stretcher mounts and the remnants of RSJ for rearward facing seats. I can't get access to my archives at moment and internet very slow but might be better in a week or so.

Thanks to Clive, Wish I'd found this before starting my own refurb of fuel pump.

 

Is the any useful info in "P 428/1 Pump, fuel pressurizing, No.2 Mk 1. Inspection Standard. Aug. 1976 "

Yes there is, it gives flow rates for different pressures & different voltages. It is only one page but at the moment I am unable to upload it. I have no broadband & reliant on an EE mast behind several hills. The service is slow but has for the last few weeks got worse. Emails can take a day to arrive, opening even a speed testing site fails because it is too slow to open the page, other web pages can take 5 or more mins to load or give up. I bought something on eehbay last week from the point of sale to the order & payment being accepted it took 1 hour 35 ins. So those who complain of a slow broadband just be grateful you get something coming through!

I'll try at odd times to see if I can hit a few magic moments when it may work. But it may have to wait until I get a satellite connection as I am fed up with daily texts from EE expecting that the service will be back to normal within 15 hours : (

Yes it is expensive. If it is original it would be nice to see some confirmation of this with a view of the engine bay. But we have duplicate views of the left side & duplicate views of the right. A view of some of the arctic heaters would be another view worth promoting.

Bob I have VAOS LV6-MT1 1960 that has several pages listing seals but that one is not listed. Although there are quite a few seals made by "PT" = Super Oil Seals & Gaskets Ltd

Does the top classification in the picture below mean that it can carry five lorries at 9 tonne each with wheelbase of 13 feet, or just one lorry under 50 tonnes?

 

The figures 16 & 50 are not are direct tonnages, they relate to the bridge class of the vehicle which admittedly has a relationship to weight but is not a direct correlation. I don't know but I assume the limit in each direction may permit several vehicles of a lower bridge class to cross provided that their sum of class didn't exceed the limits on the sign. I expect their are criteria laid down for the spacing of such vehicles, but they certainly should be spaced such that no more should be on the bridge at any one time that would exceed the class of  bridge.
