    Hi Mike, mine is the Artillery tractor with the 12 seater cab. Would you have any idea where I can get dimensions or someone who can measure up theirs. steve

    Hi All, does anyone have the dimensions for the above so I can get one made up as it is missing from my vehicle

    There was to start with , there are several splits in the exhaust manifold that all seemed to aim the flame in my direction. I was advised to keep an extinguisher handy lol. The best thing was she started

    Hi all, I am looking for some history on the above. Is there a site where I can look this vehicle up or do I have to send details in hard copy to a register. many help gratefully received Quadman

    The Martian awakes. We managed to get her started after two years stood outside with no bonnet !!!!! The air compressor got up to pressure and the front brakes worked. And although we had no clutch she is now moved out of her muddy orchard and ready for the low loader to bring her home IMG_3274.MP4 IMG_3257.MOV

    Hi John that is interesting. The only concern I would have is that after I fitted spacers to my mini when I was 18 and the bearing collapsed I have always kept away from them .However there must be a calculation I could do to look at the extra load on the hub bearings, it may be that the over engineered vehicle won’t be a problem thanks again steve

    Thanks John, I am replacing all tyres so replacing with radials should not give me a problem. I will need another 2 tyres to match the four I have just sourced so will look out in February thanks again for the info

    I love the look of those 16r20 tyres. I see the air cleaner is the prototype one. Or have you modified?

    Wow, I see what you mean, that gap is clearly hazardous to tyre life thanks

    Thanks Chris , I look forward to seeing the photos. I was concerned about clearances and also the aesthetics of the distance remaining between the two rear tyres. If you can supply any more info on the Cole’s crane rims that would be superb as I have just started working with a major crane company . It would be very much appreciated if you have a couple of side views of the Martian with the tyres fitted thanks again steve

    Hi Chris, loved the photographs. Is it true you are running 16.00-20 tyres on your Martian as I have just been offered some as my old 15.00-20 are scrap best regards Steve

    Hi Simon, what is Chris’s name on here as I would really like to ask his opinion Steve
  14. Quadman42
    Thanks to you both for this info. I was impressed with the overall look of Simons project and thought it might be 224 steve

    Hi Simon, I have been reading about your restoration. Superb job you have done so far. Could you confirm you have gone with Deep Bronze Green paint colour as that’s what they were initially steve

    Hi all, has anyone fitted 16.00-20 or 395/85r20 to a Martian . I have been told that the TM 6x6 wheels will fit the Martian as they are both 10 stud wheels but I can find no evidence to support this theory. I am in need of at least 5 tyres so now is a good time to look at any solutions that members have. Also does anyone have the overall diameter and width of a 15.00-20 ?
  17. Quadman42
    Thanks both. Do you run 15.00-20 20ply tyres on your Martians as they are getting a bit scarce and I will need 4 !!!. Otherwise it’s TT radials
  18. Quadman42
    Thanks John, that is superb. I will probably wear the key board out

    Hi, would anyone have copies of the manuals for the above that I could pay for copies as I am in the process of restoring one of these behemoths. Any informational literature would be gratefully appreciated Quadman42
