phil munga

this is a bit like the said gun tractor ,,

I like the look of the old albion trucks and reading through these posts a lwb is mentioned this breaker had a LWB in a barn next to his house which was next to the yard , I'm not sure what type it was , looked a nice shape to the cab maybe timber framed , radiator up front

Since I was wandering round with dolly, here's some photomagraphical records of our adventures this morning:

 

 

 

An actual STEAM roller in need of a polish:

Hi this is a Huber Motor roller I used to have one , they're fitted with catapilar D2/ D4 diesel engines with donkey starter engine ( still have a spare donkey engine in bits ) these rollers were brought over during WW2 to keep the airfields right , the one I had was from an airfield near York , they were quite advanced with hydraulic steering and a ram at the rear for the tine bar , nice looking diesel roller and looks to be in its correct olive drab paint what can be seen of it :-D

thanks guys its good to know that help is only a phone call away :-D

got some more info from chassis tag

type 0,25t Bouwjaar 1963

NATO stock nr 2320-17-706-8490

motor nr 8862028193

chassis nr 3038020823

this will help if i reregister it , its on a 1979 V reg at the mo , but does state on the V5 declared manufacture 1963

I've got the brakes working but think for safty that i might fit a new dual circuit one as fitted to 70's VW beetles or campers , these have a seperate reservoir that feeds the MC through pipes ,, so the reservoir could be fixed under the drivers seat

thanks for the warm wellcome guys

Munga owners are considered quite unusaual. And thats by our standards

here's some pics of the munga , its been painted black at some point should be green

hi i'm new to this forum and not sure if to make a new post or just to add to this one "munga talk" , which looks great

I bought a munga in the summer that i've known about for many years a real barn find that had been tucked away since the early eighties , i got chance to buy this but after what i found out about them thought it best if could get it running before i buy it ,, once i'd sorted the ellectrics clean 'n' set points to get spark , fresh juice in squeezy bottle she fired up realy sweet , with plenty smoke i've just honed out the master cylinder as there was no brake peddle feel , and just starting to remove the engine because the clutch is stuck ,

logbook says chassis no 3032020823 if this tells you anything , will try and find some more numbers as will be good to find out a bit more about it , will add some pics in a moment

hi all , Phil here just thought I'd join up as I'v got a munga that i'm getting ready for an MOT ,, its just a slow project as have a collection of other vehicles , that i tend to have at least four on the go at one time :nono: at the moment trying to make room for another ex military vehicle but keeping quiet about this for now , just as it say's in the title i'm near Darlington ,, Durham + n/yorks
