    Amusing, It was previously there. I’ll have to find the image again.

    may be a silly question but..... why do some stollies have bolts around the cab windows and some not? Some also have the swim board fittings and some not? Have these been removed during the life of through refurbishment or are these some variant? dan

    Hi, I’m interested in your stalwart if it’s still available. Could collect within a few days. Dan

    Another quick picture of her journey from the island.

    I think you might be right.

    They did indeed. It’s now on a low loader travelling to our workshops in Warrington so should arrive some time tomorrow.

    It’s coming off the island. The mass of equipment being landed on the island has done that to the beach.

    Thanks for that. I see what you mean now. Doesn’t it need To turn in a bearing? One other thing I can’t get my head around is how it syncs up on re-engagement? Sorry for all the silly questions.

    Hi Ron, Reading your posts about restoring your stolly was the inspiration for me to buy mine, after wanting one for 25 years. I really enjoyed reading it You’ll have to excuse my ignorance, but would you mind explaing (without going to too much trouble) how the disconnect happens in the muff coupling as that seems much better than what I was thinking but I don’t quite understand it? thanks in advance Ron Dan

    I think I read about this somewhere. The other guy with the stolly posted his restoration process on a forum. I take my hat off to him after reading it.

    Thanks, I think I’ll need it with this one.

    There are quite a few cable and lever op disconnects on the market. The Americans seem to fit them to their 4 wheelers. They’re round about 400 dollars.

    I have been thinking about this a lot. A dog clutch arrangement with the shaft held by a bearing each side would work. But it would Be nice to have the disconnect remote so you don’t have to crawl under the load deck. Perhaps a take off from the air somewhere would do it.

    No problem when I make mine, I’ll make a set for you. If there’s anything else you neee let me know. We large metal plant rooms and shipping containers at work so the hull and body isn’t too daunting. It’s the mechanical that has me a little worried.

    Thank you very much.

    Unfortunately not at the moment. I think the engine will be ok but the linkages and dives might have suffered a bit.
  20. Dan77
    I could probably make you a set if you get stuck. She looks amazing by the way.
  21. Dan77
    I’d be happy too. Will you need the bits quickly? Dan

    Hi, I’m from Manchester but i will keep it in Warrington at work. To be honest, this stolly is pretty far gone but I just can’t let it be broken for spares. This was her when she was pristine, used to ferry goods to the island. The new owner of the island kindly tooj this for me.

    Hi All, The good news is, this old girl is to be saved. I have bought her and we are taking it off the island this month. This will be my second stolly. As you’ve said, the environment has taken its toll on her but I have access to a large CNC machine and sheet metal shop at work so we should have the rot taken care of pretty quickly. I’m still a novice at all this so any advice would be greatly received. Dan
