    I've seen a few pop up in the region of 30k

    And only the other day ricks one for 15k which only needed the engine rebuilt.

    At 75k he's dreaming, you can nearly buy a Sherman project for that!.

     

    Bill.

     

    Hes dreaming yes but you never know someone with more money than sense might buy it...... Most people that can afford that kind of money have the sense and want it as cheap as possible... lol

    Absolutely amazing pictures with such an fantastic depth of colour those pictures will definately appear in a few books. Thanks for finding this I have seen a comparable video of two M16 halftracks being used in paris to deal with a sniper and the weight of fire that is used is scary

     

    Its that bad habit of mine again reading the news online

    How do I reset it please ?

     

    When you press the gearchange pedal down you should be able to feel the spring pushing back against your foot. If that pressure isn't there then you need to reset it as per the manual.

    To go from forward to reverse with the vehicle stopped press your foot on the brake pedal this holds the vehicle in place and stops the box moving. With the vehicle stopped and in gear press down on the gearchange pedal down and at the same time as the pedal is going down move the forward / reverse lever in one swift movement either forward or back.

     

    If you try changing from forward and reverse on a slope and don't press your foot on the brake pedal the vehicle can creep forward and you will not be able to change the direction off drive

    To get the tank out you have to remove the following

     

    turret and base plate off

     

    rear decking very helpful if this is off

     

    all the cover plates around the gearbox

     

    the airfilter and its connection pipe with the carburettor horn

     

    the batteries and battery boxes

     

    the distribution panel (inter vehicle starting socket) this panel and wiring can be bungged up out of the way

     

    generator panel

     

    centre gearbox mounts

     

    disconnect the fuel pump from the tank

     

    disconnect the tank mounts from the hull two per side of the tank

     

    disconnect the wiring from the sender

     

    As its a Mk 4 and I haven't worked on those you find that you have to remove more. I might have missed something so its a rough list.

     

    if you find that the tank won't budge and seems to be stuck jack the vehicle up in-between the rear wheel stations and if it still won't budge you might have to remove the engine hull crossbar and jack it up in-between the rear wheel stations again. The bolts for the crossbar won't pull out the weight of the wheels and wheel stations will gradually loosen as the vehicle is jacked higher.
