phil munga

nice link you found there ,, Does anyone know where these photos were taken

looks to be a good project for the new owner , by twinset I take it this is similar to Crawfords machine that was made to pull a plough with two Detroit diesels ,,

We've used Helmsly cranes before on a job down Skipton and seem to be canny lads , looks a good size crane , will the M10 be over 30 ton

got some more pics this I think might be a Leyland 6 wheeler

Hi not a bad looking bike , can't make my mind up if the sidecar is on the right side , friend of mine had to remove one from a Russian bike something to do with being on the wrong side

Hi Phil, i think its a Leyland Retriever with a crane in the back. Photo of the same truck. Original photo from my collection.

cheers for that , some great photos you've got in your collection , will post a pic of what i think is one in scrap yard relics

Hi all, I wont be put off by a broken windscreen guys ! I've just bought a good size Atlas Copco compressor with the Ford 4000 engine so would probably blow this away with a good shotblasting gun

As for the wheels he might just have some as I noticed a front and rear axle from what looks to be from a Morris Quad? ( if they'll fit ) looked to have strengthening bars running from the swivel housing area to the diff ,, forgot all about the bloody "id plate" OH and its been sat there forty years :embarrassed:

Got a few pics not great it was dark and I was on a flying visit to pic a friend up that arrived early , will be over again latter this week with a better camera

this pic shows where the rear door connects

the front lower bracket

front top bracket on windscreen frame with door in place

lower front door in place

Hope these pics are of help

Hi all had a carry on loading pics tonight , not sure if its my computer , here's the pics of whats left , the guy was quite busy so I have to go back when the weather a bit better , the starting handle still turned but on engaging with the engine it did not move, how much will be savable I'm not sure ,, but the way in which this bloke said he had a Morris 6 wheeler blar blar blar,,,,, I thought thats what he had , sorry about the picture quality I was doing a balancing act trying to get in a good position which was hard to do not knowing what was under the snow

Hi all , in the post above 124 the pic of Morris upside down ,the one that looks to have a fuel or water tank what make is the truck behind to the right , looking forward to your reply

Nice looking Land Rover 101 radio body heading east on the A66 near Barnard Castle

Hi all, pics are getting downloaded but have to pop out ,

( so if you sit waitting on the edge of your seats :-D ) Its not a prety sight :cry: the front has bee covered but has been outside for a long time ,

Thanks for the reply , I was thinking it would be best at the rear , but one of my projects has been changed and want to put it back to front driven front engine

Hi all, well I never thought a previous owner would reply , There from a book called VW Beetle by Clive Prew there are a few more pictures of four others plus a four wheel drive Beetle ,

Hi, out of both trans I managed to get enough good parts ie the clutch plates still had writing on the waring surface bearings where all OK , I did have another source for new parts and the clutch type plates are only about 7 pounds each , for the gear that my car sets off in ( said to be 2nd ) has 7 plates then the other two about 6 , there was only one seal ( nylon? ) needed where the main pump fits the input shaft , I'll try and find out a bit more about the upgraded parts for the ZF , from what I remember there from a Mercedes Sprinter

Hi, Richard some of the parts in my Mercedes box can be interchanged with some of the ZF parts because I found out today you can get some heavier ZF parts to go in the trans for the Hagglunds ,,the boxes you worked on in 91 were they electronic ? I new the fault on my gearbox because it had an unnoticed leak so 2nd and 3rd burnt ,,,,,, The Jeep is 2001 and took it to the main dealers on a trailer and they came up with no faults :mad: at a cost of about 200 pounds , I looked up on the internet and found common fault speed sensor , also found that the brake bands can be torque adjusted so did this and the box worked for half a mile , so not sure if it might just be a brake band ,, heres a few pics of the merc box

Double planetary type gears for reverse

doing a lovely job , found a couple of pics and thought you might like the look of them , at some point it looks as though door openings have been made on this one

Hi Mark, if I get over this week I'll try and get some pics

Hi all just seen this tracked vehicle and thought you might like it , its got four tracks

and looks to go well on the ski slopes

What do people prefer on there tracked vehicles

1 the drive sprocket been at the front

2 drive sprocket at the rear

and is there any advantages between the two ??

just watched this video , there lucky no one was badly hurt , car just slides on ice so they decide to jump out ,, would you bail out or hold tight ?

You obviously ignored the bit in the Haynes manual were it says "repairs to this unit are beyond the scope of the home mechanic, please refer the unit to a dealer or specialist". They omit to mention the huge pain incurred as your wallet is bashed.Glad to see someone isn't put off.

Stormin, just thought I'd have a look inside it , This box is very much the same as fitted to the later Haglunds I've been told , I have a VW works manual for a VW T25 auto trans that shows parts inside but will be a long time since I looked through it ,

Looking in a few of the American 4x4 mags a couple of years back there seemed to be plenty of articles on stripping your auto tranny down and modifying it. Seemed the normal thing over there were they've been more used to living with auto's for a lot longer. Guess it helps that any special tools and parts are also cheaper over there.

 

Suspect that the more modern ones with electronic controls and solenoids valves may be a different matter.

yes I was lucky with my box it was just before the change ,, but my jeep box has electronic controls , think If I'm lucky it might just be a speed sensor

Cheers Jack / Degsy Thats just what I thought ,

Hi all, I've been having a bit of bother with two of my vehicles both auto ,, one a Mercedes W140 the trans was slipping so set to this weekend removing the box ,

now having never looked inside an auto trans before and going by the amount they cost to overhaul I thought I'd have a go at stripping it down :shocked:

Laid all parts in order was just like a few motorcycle clutches some gears like a reduction hub doubled up ( believe this'll be reverse ) a couple of brake bands Governor and valve block no special tools required to do this job ,,

I got hold of another box that first gear was broke (new first was OK on mine) so striped it down inspected all parts ferodo material worn on first ,other clutch packs OK ,

the box I removed from my car 2nd and 3rd burnt out this was due to an oil leak ,, anyhow got it all back together and there was no chance of lifting the box back in while laid under the car, front on axle ramps rear on stands , so welded some 50mm flat bar to the trolley jack to hold the box and jack it up into place , fill with oil and tested it while rear in the air , it all worked very nicely so went for a drive all working as it should really chuffed but think one of the coil-packs maybe playing up now as when under load it misfires a bit ,

my Jeep auto is also playing up not changing into 3rd so have to work out whats wrong with this one all the fun of motoring

looks like I was piped to the post quite like the look of the 1943 GMC CCKW jimmy , whats the steel ring above the roof hatch ? I've an idea but don't want to sound silly :-D
