    Axillary dynamo in place and connected to the PTO, propeller shaft just need some paint.

     

    Out of curiosity is there a need to have this drive shaft balanced? What sort of revs are required to run the generator or does the generator run at? or do the flange couplings take care of this? Do they(flange couplings) have a rubber component?

    Not too sure if this is quite what you are looking for as industrials normaly had a jaw similar to MOD type, incomplete though

    [QUOTE=Ian L;468694]Found an original manual on ebay for £5 the same week as I bought the Tillys & nothing since, also apart from the origional tax discs in their holder I found this, any ideas what it is ?
    That is an old "C" licence or "Carriers Licence" - used during the war, I think and for a few years after!

     

    Quite a few years after, I have some with expiry dates of 1940, 1953 and 1957, for the same vehicle (JT 2486) For another vehicle (HTX 271) an expiry date of 1965.

    The C licence was for carrying goods in connection with a trade or business.

    To carry for hire or reward required an A or B licence. I have a few B licences, expire 1962 and 1964, for the vehicle mentioned above(JT 2486), these are annotated with an operating radius of ten miles.

    The name on them would be the user as a name/company name and not necessarily the owner, unless owner/operator. Superseded/updated by the current operators licence at some point in the past.

    I expect one or two military vehicles acquired these in civilian life, all part of their history.

    Ian, This is extracted from the regs. offside wing roundel with the B/91 above it. The Command/Group code should be 5 inches high ( in white) in a plain style.

    The Command /group will be displayed on the back

    I have never found the size for RAF 1234 etc but it should be white displayed front and rear .

    TED

     

    What does the B/91 signify? Where it is based or the Command it comes under?

     

    Is the Command/group the number RAF1234 etc? Presumably this is the vehicles registration/census number as per the Z number on Army trucks?

     

    Thanks in advance :-)

    spelling or lack of!

    Very interesting Ted.

     

    I'm sure you will agree that the vehicle should not be RAF blue - which in Ian's case isn't

     

    What colour/s where they? as per Army vehicles following their respective colour changes as the war progressed?

    When did the blue colour come in?

    How about:

     

    Because the organiser relies on the social gathering of MV owners and enthusiasts to provide the free spectacle that the public pay to come to see.

     

    Without the social draw for MV owners the organiser would likely end up having to pay MV owners to bring their MVs in order to provide the spectacle for the public.

     

    Point taken, it wouldn't be much of a show with out MV etc owners let alone the paying public. It takes two to tango though, so to speak. No MV's etc no show, no public no show. Paying for MV's to attend could make for an interesting admission charge to the public :shocked:

     

    Precisely. If we have to resolve everything to the unpleasant basis of £££'s - every MV owner and Living History group pays to get there and be a part of the show. Adding together transport costs and fuel costs - when I had the OT-90 it was costing ME personally over £800 to be there every year and take part in the arena events with Rex aiding the transport costs. The heavy armour guys paid even more.... Unlike a trade show where the exhibitors are there to sell and make a profit W&P - to me at least - primarily is for the MV and Living History communities to come together, socialise and play in safety. The public are not necessary from our point of view - but nice to have.

     

     

    Unfortunately it always devolves to money in the end, but the choice is yours as to how you spend it......... or not.

    I'm not an MV owner, so not an issue for me being a "nice to have, by-product" :)

    End of the day I guess we have to give the new guy a chance. Everyone is different, and thus has different ways - we have grown used to Rex and his teams over the years. So the new will have to be a change. In fairness they ought to be given the chance. Remarks made to the media can - possibly - be taken out of context.

     

    My personal opinion is the new owner has failed to grasp fully the concept that for us the W&P show IS a social event - we get to meet people we don't see the rest of the year and we get to relax and commune with fellow MV owners. For many it is their annual holiday. The public to us are a by-product.

    The new guy is used to running big commercial shows with a different ethos where the public is the reason for the show. Effectively poles apart. So it is to be hoped we end up with a meeting point somewhere in the middle between the poles.

     

    I have my reservations as stated - but I will be going and will go with an open mind. Some of the changes are to our good - like the show ending on the Saturday to get us home on the Sunday instead of the Monday.

    Some seem - for now - to be less so.

     

     

     

     

    However I think there is one real lesson already the new teams can learn and that is to communicate with the movement/attendees via the various forms of media. Under Rex the teams kept us informed via e-mail and FB etc. with regular news and updates. Thus far the new teams e-mails seem to be just press releases and social media seems to be almost forgotten I hope it's a lesson they will learn for the future.

     

     

     

     

    Why does the organiser have to grasp the concept of a social event? It may be to you, fair do's, but to them the show has to be a paying prospect otherwise there is not much point in putting it on, same for the traders too. Try walking around as a member of the public, you may see it in a different light. It wouldn't be much of a show without your "by product"

    Apparently Southern Electric (SEB) bought 14 of these in the early 1980's, so there may well be some in the UK that have actually worked here, as opposed to recent imports.

     

    So says a friend of mine who is a bit of a SEB nut (no, I'm not sure why either) anyway. Don't think he has any photos sadly.

     

    I remember these, although not too well as I started with Southern Electricity in 1982. Trekmaster was the name that eventually came to mind. A quick google search produced this; http://sebvehicles.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/seb-uaz-452-trekmaster.html

    [quote=Mk3iain;461696

    I am unsure about the fuel injection pump. The oil level hole had a plastic plug waiting for a fitting on installation. As it was a completely different Bosch pump that came off my only reference is the pump on spares Milly and this has a banjo fitting but it is just the union with no pipe attached and so the void is open to atmosphere. How should this be ?

    Is this just left open which seems wrong as oil would just splash out or should it be plumbed into somewhere or even plugged? I cannot tell by looking at parts books or manuals.....

     

    Many thanks

    Iain

     

    All I could picture was a Simms Minimec in-line pump(not knowing what type you have fitted) and suspect that this would be for the pump overflow pipe, it would probably have a short piece of pipe attached to the banjo union pointing down.

    From a Ford 2700 range service manual-

     

    "The camshaft and governor housing are filled with engine oil through a filler plug on top of the governor housing. Fuel oil leakage from the plungers mixes with this oil, the surplus being drained by an overflow pipe at the front of the injection pump"

     

    Not very environmentally friendly really, I suppose you could divert in to an oil catch tank and dispose of when carrying out maintenance/inspections.
