Hi Will OC 600 is the right oil for the rear diff and walking beams and a few other things, you will need a oil pump of some sort as damage will probably happen to the worm bearings , I never heard of anyone running a explorer without one but someone my know differently. Regards Butch

Do you have a oil pump as spares are quite thin on the ground, someone on here was experimenting a few years back in fabricating a alternative way to pump the oil around the diff but I don't know the outcome.

Hi Will There is only a small amount of oil normally inside the cover which works its way there when driving, should be clean though, have you took the oil pump off to check it already as it is missing in the photo .

Hi Dave Not sure if that coupling is a form of lay rub coupling I know they made some for scammells and I think you can still get them , there are two types that I have come across, you need to talk to a scammell handyman unit owner to find out the part number/supplier , try the scammell owners club for contact details cheers Butch

Hi Rob Looking good Mate, have you looked at the Fuel pump as I had a lorry that had the same symptoms as those and it turned out to be that, worked alright with revs just not ticking over , new diaphragm and valves and it was fine . Cheers Butch

Hi Andy Yes it is the same Cheers Butch

Hi mate if you pm me with your contact details I will dig out the NSN for the parts you have asked for if you still need them . Cheers Butch

Hi I've got one you can have if you still need one. Give me a call on 077791489079 cheers Gary

Neil , l live 6 miles down the road from sible and and will be happy to supply a second or third set of eyes as l've owned a knocker for 15 years and have done nearly everything you can do in that time. a ford cargo part number TDE2P Timax ltd fits nicely as a silencer and a WB6M bend Timax ltd puts the smoke out the side.

There are two types of track, flat plate like the photo which fitted the pioneer and early explorer with the gated track carrier and, spiral type which fitted all other explorers and militants, these don't normally fit early explorer track carriers. There are also two types of track tensioning tools (as i found out while trying to fit a set,they are not interchangeable!!!)

HI there Antarmike, Try BSL, you will have to google them for your nearest branch. I got some off them about 6 years ago, Leather too !
