    Thanks for that, don’t like dismantling thing unnecessarily! Some times that can create more problems 😅👍

    On the control tube near the bottom, there is a square block fastened around it above the casting, do you know if this is removed the tube will split to allow the mounting plate to slide down?

    Ok, good look with the M16 👍

    Thanks for that info, It looks like I will drop the whole set up and mounting plate in a oner, I’ll rig up some sort of jig which I can lift up with a Jack then lower it down to remove it, I presume it’s a heavy piece of kit when off 😬

    Chris, Is there any easy way to remove the motor🤔 Mine is standing on its legs so i am working upside down, 4 top bolts and 2 at the front from underneath, but! Those swivel castings that seems to fit to brackets either side if the motor, does it mean those gearboxes/diffs need to come off first? Would be much easier if i could find a way of turning it over.

    A working quad M45. it was slow on the elevation so lifted it off the truck and set it on a frame die I could get under. the only thing I did was disconnect the elevation coupling so I could manually move to check if binding connected the coupling, the battery, switched onand I have nothing! No motor start. Tried the circuit breaker to no avail. Anyone have any ideas on what I could check? I earthed it to the Meg terminal on the battery 😞

    So near and yet so far 😊

    😬 will do 👍 where are you based? I’m in Cumbria

    Disconnected the driven and there has to be drag somewhere, really hard to manually depress the guns, slightly better elevating them. More investigating needed!

    Cheers 👍

    Good idea, will try that 👍

    Ben, Did you ever get your hot motor sorted? I have a problem with the differential that works the elevation, it is so slow and draws 150 amps in operation, traverse is the full 60deg a second. Alistair
  15. GSL272
    Cheers Ben that would be good 👍

    Ben, I bought some of those belts, a lot better fit than the ones I had, thanks for that. elevation still incredibly poor, traverse is spot on! Thinking I might have to unbolt from the trailer and hoist it off to take a better look, do you know the measurements for the 3 legs? I’ll have to rig a stand up to set it on. 👍
  17. GSL272
    Ben, do you have a Code for the correct belts? I’m wondering if mine are too long, the differential bolts are at there max no I still have too much play on the belts? Alistair

    Hi, just checked my motor and it’s pulling 154 amps. What should it be? did you get your issue sorted?
  19. GSL272
    What generator have you on your Maxson, mine is a Tiny Tim L123 12v output one which I am not sure is correct?
  20. GSL272
    No nothing untoward, I guess I was lucky with this one 😬 good luck with yours 👍
  21. GSL272
    Yes I’ve ran it of a 12v battery, need to finish restoring the Tiny Tim genny to get everything working 😅
  22. GSL272
    Hi, thanks for that info it does help. I was looking to put two 6v ones in but after your experience I might try the bigger 165AH batteries which should just fit the tray. I suppose a large 12v is a possibility also? cheers Alistair
  23. GSL272
    Hi, Can anyone inform me of the type of batteries required to power a Maxson 45 quad?

    Matchless G3WO

    GSL272 replied to GSL272's topic in Motorcycles

    I will try to attach a photo, engine number is G3/40 14029 from C7183

    I have a Matchless G3WO with an unusual frame number, WD1001 could this be a frame used from a spares depot on a military rebuild?
