hmm not sure this is correct...it is partially dependant upon the position of the snatch block and what you are doing. But the snatch block can only take a load of 15 tons...if you connect for instance the block to a 15 ton vehicle and use a 7.5 ton winch looped around the snatch then that is fine....however if you use it to pull a 30 ton tank it will fail...irrespective of how many loops you have the snatch block is carrying the full weight...of both cables, or the full load...

important plains tour 2009 CANCELLED
paulob1 replied to David Ives's topic in Future events and meetings
bummer in deed, i had arragned for a mate to join and come along too...would have been maybe 6 or 7 stalwarts... -
thank you bid made...
-
the more i look at those wings the more I think japanese but its not easy...
-
cant make out the plane, not enough detail for me...the wing inspection or maybe machine gun access panels may be helpful but it will take a bit more searching to find out...could do with a few more details to give us a better chance of recognition...
-
well gonna get the stolly all spick and spam next weekend and have her all ready to go to the plains..need to do an oil change and am still on the lookout for some 12y plugs but to no avail so far...anyone got any...
-
hmm this is a tricky one, I like my 432 as its new to me but with little or no experience of other tracked armoured vehicles it would have to be the Panther..what a great tank that was. modern tanks are all much the same...would love to have a swedish S-tank...
-
Thats not a minute man its a Nike Hercules...of the 50's
-
I can see a bloodhound in the background...and the t34 85 is a beaut..not sure of the gun but I have seen that before, not good with me guns...ooh I missed all the other pages on this silly me...it is a T34 85 and the bloodhound is a cracking missile for the back of one of my zils...where are these...
-
When I get my ural 4320 i will do you a good deal neil...give me 3-4 months...
-
I like that...too many toys in my yard mind....got to get my 432 sorted and my zils sorted and a few other toys all up and running but that does look like a nice truck for someone to repair...
-
okay not sure I will be at malvern....not very good with weekends as I am ususally doing stuff....when one of my boys is old enough to drive life will be a good deal easier
-
ooh yes it is going to be sand colour....its the in colour for sure,....will you be on the plains trip...I will..saturday and sunday only though...
-
I need some aerials for my fv432 clansman set-up and also one for my stalwart...can anyone help me,....what do i need...
-
hi keith I am in surrey but am afraid all of my toys are cold war stuff....but I am sure others on here can help...
-
okay ...I have to arrive on the SATURDAY MORNING, I have committments on the friday and so cant make it then...where do i go...i will be hauling my stolly to site, easier quicker and a lot less expensive....mind you i will fill her with a good tank full...not often i do that..
-
I suppose its better than walking....
-
yes got you, I will keep getting them via sales...I am assuming that if I have say two or three spares stuck to the vehicle if i take her out on the road that should be enough...I have never worked with tracks before and am very wary of them....(apart from my JC130 but that only does slow and very slow) I have a lot to learn, am looking forward to meeting some of you lot on salisbury plain....
-
thanks guys, i will keep chasing down NOS I think...trouble is most of that is getting old and tatty, sooner or later it is going to have to be get them re-done or no wheels will be available...I guess..
-
does anyone know who does this and an idea of the cost...
-
how about we call it eastern block....simple....I want a section as I am always after info and have a lot of info too...full set of manuals and parts lists for the 131...very useful...
-
ok it stays home
-
ooh sounds good, am getting my stolly cleaned up and tidy, giving her a full oil change and making sure she is running okay...going to get my air pack cleaned up and make sure it is all running ok......I may bring the 432 too if i can get a low loader to carry it...or if anyone has a spare place on a trailer for a 432...
-
ooh cant find my dip switch either...waiting for the manuals to arrive before I can check things over....but if you find out let me know...
