I used to drive a Premium artic, basically a Volvo in disguise. Always gave better fuel consumption than the equivalent FM. But the electrics were another matter. I wonder what sort of fuel consumption you are going to get out of the DT and trailer freighted up.

No one thought about the fumes coming of them either. Biggest ones I poured in were the old number 4's inside of a crusher. You are putting in the hours as well, but it really is coming together now. Is that a French truck lurking in one of the pictures?

There is a story about 3 Italian prisoners of war who escaped from a P.O.W. camp in Kenya, climbed one of the peaks of Mount Kenya then returned to the P.O.W. camp.

Life is strange sometimes. Being ferrous is interesting.

I did not want to but in when you were talking. With luck see you next year, got a new AEC hat now. Great show first time I have been.

Really looks the part at Newark today

This has turned into a restoration tutorial. Meticulous work with explanation's about the tools.

Just another thought regarding the missing manifest. Has anyone done a search of the Guildhall Library London for any information of the cargo.

A friend has asked if these parts have any value. He thinks they are off a para bike. There are a few more bits but I cannot get the pictures across. They are from his friends fathers estate that they are clearing.

Best wishes, I hope you find it a good home.

It is such a shame having to part with the vehicle under such circumstances. It looks as if he took immense pride in the truck. Condolences to his family.

Going from a rusty memory first thing in is a spring then separator with seals on each end opposite ways around then the first plunger with a spring over it then another seal facing in over then a circlip. But it is 40 plus years since I was inside one. It's a split system part of the cylinder works the front brakes and part works the rear brakes. All of the wheels need the brakes adjusting up correctly to get a firm pedal feel with full air pressure.

You are not exporting so should not be any more problem than any other vehicle. Just take the usual box of tools and spares.

Try putting Images of Bedford TK brake master cylinder schematic you should find an exploded view of the item that you are looking for.

There was a one on a farm between Radcliff and Amble a few years ago.

They have a D.T as well to pull it, also a Sherman.

Sorry I have just seen this question. Sandstone is a Museum in South Africa covering living steam as well as civilian and military vehicles

Rad buzzer has probably just got power after the connector plug has been cleaned.

Hi I have 3 plus some parts I will get some pictures.

If you cannot find any I will have a look in the dark box.

Shell Rotella or Rimula are good general purpose high performance oil's with slow drain properties

You are doing a great job of saving a living breathing Foden.

I only guessed the terrain would not be pristine.

I would think the transmission would be under less stress on the road, getting up to temperature and being under a fairly constant load. Much less than going backwards and forwards all day , sometimes 24hrs a day loading a hopper or trucks, or doing a load and carry operation. Having moved on the road many different types of wheeled loader and motor scrapers by road that is my opinion. Clark transmissions as used in Michigan's were pretty bullet proof, I found Allison transmissions less reliable. I would have been worried more by the use of one driver for such a trip, followed by tyres. That was an epic trip by anyone's standards, he must have had a heart like a Lion.
