If you can't get the shafts out or the plungers won't move you can always remove the final drives first.

Have you tried Green Machine Surplus? I can remember him having a pile of them about 15 years ago..!

That is from a YouTube show called Roadkill. In another episode they drive a Chieftain over a Prius. I have been watching it for years.

The last coat is not light brown, that's faded NATO green with black disruptive pattern.

The Scorpion ones are rubber mounded to a metal ring and bolt in, the Fox/Sabre Has at least one which is s rubber strip which is glued in place.

Hi 'Fort',
You would need to find out if it is still in service, hundreds of them are. The majority of those which have been sold off over the years have ended up scrapped. Only a small number have ended up in private hands.

It's a big yard, I'm sure they're there somewhere. They also have other storage locations.

Under the green tarps.

They belong to Withams and have been there a long time. I'm sure they'd sell you one if you asked.

Is the turret ring available?

The light doesn't go out and there is no timer. I usually give it about 5 seconds but I have no idea what the manual says.

Take it out in one lump.

Have you checked the oil level? Might be worth changing it anyway.

Diana,
Don't have one handy to measure, but can confirm they are larger.

I'll have to see if I can remember where I put them but I may have some. Will check on the weekend.

I fitted one from a Mini I believe, it worked ok, Clive is the man though!

Robin,
When I am am back home I'll look up the Sabre turret weight but I am sure it is a lot less than a Scorpion, maybe 1000kg. Being a Sabre you might be able to remove it with the ring and adaptor, but it's probably easier just to undo the ring of bolts inside the turret. Leave the basket in place, just undo the Y bracket at the back.

Removal of alternators is easy if you know how! I've taken out loads. The trick is to get a track pin, cut off the threaded potion and slightly round off the edges. You can then insert it into the cap screws, tap it in with a hammer or mallet and turn it with a spanner. I got the process down to 10mins with this method, even with the engine in place. Yes the brackets are fitted to the alternator before it goes in.
