Jeremy looking good there friend :-)
I have collected the Andy 5000, but need to change attachments as it is a modern grease nipple end. Also drum is full of grease............
I hope to have fettled soon and you can use either Andy 5000 or the other New version to replenish the Champ.
Regards

Hi Wayne,
Not sure about MOD spec for lights but the side lights and the stop/tail lights go above the indicators on all the ex-mod landies that I own and all the landies(civvi and mod) that I have worked on. What year is your lightweight?

Good Stuff RR. Keep this topic open as I know there have been mixed results uing the POR15 tank seal and I guess with all these things, it's in the preparation.
Interested to see your results after all the hard work done so far........
Cheers

Land Rover series 2a , 1/4 ton 4x4 FFR Rover Mark 8. Hence Rover 8FFR

Rover8FFR - do you still need one of the high pressure lubricators Clive mentions?
If so, I have one gathering dust in the barn that I would happily donate to your Pig project!
Give me a shout if interested.
Do you mean the Andy 5000??????????? If so the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES PLEASE!

Merci Mon Ami from cultural Glasgow.
Very Useful document..........Do you ever publish anything unhelpful...........'Obi One Knobi'.

6% rape seed oil.
??? This is starting to sound like Jamie Oliver........Are you telling me that you mix oils with Rapeseed oil in the kitchen before dispensing..............
I hope Mrs E doesn't use it for frying your 'Castrol R' Eggs????????????????????

Wayne I know nothing about Champs, OC600 was mentioned for their joints which surprised me. The only OC600 you need worry about is the steering box, it is a compounded oil of 94% mineral oil & 6% rape seed oil.
The Tractas in Humbers should be filled with premixed lubricants in the ratio OEP 220 (1 pint) to OX 320 (1/8 pint). Subsequent topping-up to be OEP 220 only.
Oooops!..........What is the modern explanation please for OEP220 and OX320..........Namely a Halfords reference if that is possible please.........

Wayne I was just looking at the thing you have bought, it has a fairly substantial pull-on termination. It might be worth seeing just how tight a fit it is on the 11B nipples. I bought a pull-on & a push-on from a lorry/aggri supplier but they were a different make & leaked. There may be some variation between makers.
So before you get mine as well, try the one that comes with the pump. Although that is pull-on & mine is push-on which may be easier in a tight space.
At first I didn't realise I could click on the image to get more images, so yes having a foot rest will help. Just need a big drum of OEP220 now.
I thought the oil was different to OEP220 in Tracta joints???? Have I misread something Clive EA90 has been mentioned or is that just champs????
I agree the fitting may be tight and maybe not so please keep the items you showed for me as I know that they would be good for a top up as a toolbox item :wink: I have seen the fittings on web pages that are on you portable devises so they should be available, but note what you say on tolerances etc.............
As soon as it arrives I will get Jeremy to check it out on the Champ as he is local and then we will know.....Yay!

This is the military guise of the Andy
806-6896 is not actually the NATO Stock No in that format it is classed as a "non-significant number" but from that one can with confidence construct the NATO Item Identification Number (NIIN) as 99-806-6896
The NATO Supply Classification (NSC) must surely be 4930 Maintenance & repair shop equipment - Lubrication & fuel dispensing equipment giving the NSN of 4930-99-806-6896
This must fall into the old VAOS range of LV6/MT1 - General miscellaneous MT stores in these later COSA times giving a Domestic Management Code of 6MT1 giving the full NSN as 6MT1/4930-99-806-6896
Would have been a lot easier if Mr Basset could have put that on the label at the outset, if he was afraid of using to up too much lettering he could have omitted "NATO STOCK NO." as just a 13-digit number on a military item needs no introduction & says it all!
Well Basset Engineering still seem to be going as a defence contractor in Hayle although they appear in none of my British Defence Exhibitors catalogues of the 1970s & 80s.
10 years ago this NSN was linked to Thor Tools, North Shields, Tyne & Wear 0191 2590655 with a part no. BK5000X but I'm not sure if they are still around.
The only other country to use this "Lubrication Unit" was New Zealand.
So assuming you still want the real thing, a few clues for you to follow up Wayne
Tried all those details and appart from old NIIN records / catalogue of numbers found NADA!..............
If the items you have exposed and are selling to me for £10 have a Hook On that can be switched for the eBay purchase then have I got a modern version???? I note it has a foot rest and can be operated by one hand, so it's looking promising Clive.................

You are just teasing now Clive...........Not fare!..............

tell me you made an offer for £55 and they took it ? hope I can borrow it some time to lube the champ thing
Yes mate he took £55

Wayne this is your lucky day. I have found these. I have tested the connector on a Type 11B & that is as tight as any of the other connectors I have. The snake bendy thing is nice & stiff. The gun can inject grease or oil, but in limited quantities. There is also a spare snake you can extend it with although one joint is a bit floppy. The other gun is similar but a different make & has a different thread. Anyway special price for you, the whole lot for £10.
No Pics, but you are a Legend.....Thank you so much
-
Thanks as always Clive. the nipples are pence each. but could be an issue if there are lots of the blighters. If i did come across an Andy 5000 i would have to buy, just because i could say i have one
-
Will see how i get on with it as bought it now. it is possible to replace nipples as threads are BSP thread. or buy lots of hankies
-
Probably think this is more up to the job but at £75 on Epay a bit steep
RR
£55.00. now that is more like it.............Sold to Rover8FFR.................Yey!!!!!!:laugh::laugh::cool2::cool2:
-
That looks spot on and with the hook on attachment......
£75.00 sound okay, especially if those Andy 5000 things are Mega Bucks.......If you can find one that is
The delivery hose is 2metres long also............

Would one of these do the job I have one just like it ?
RR
Hey Jeremy great news if your oily thingy is suitable......I just found a modern version on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gear-Pump-Oil-Bucket-High-Pressure-Volume-No-Grease-New-/120716105356?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c1b3d968c
I suspect the Castrol one would go for a bit less.
PS Yes I may want to borrow it or snap up the Castrol one :-D
-
I have just done some research and the Andy 5000 draws a massive blank and Indeed nothing like it comes up. Drats....
However I did stumble across these items.....So to convert an oil/ grease gun, which attachements / nipples closest resemble the Humber and Champ fitting??
Found them on this site http://www.lumatic.co.uk/oil-gun-accessories.htm
Looking at Humber Pictures, the Nipple to farthest right in Brass...............I suggest
-
I have a slide on adaptor for my grease gun
Jeremy what does that look like then??
Clive is right I am on the look out for the corrector applicator and as soon as I get one, we can share......
It may be something you will spot first at Malvern????? If you look at my pig thread you will see the precise piece of kit that does the magic :cool2:

Corners a bit like this on your younger sibling trailer.

The plot thickens
.The bulkhead and chassis were Swiss Cheese so she definately went swimming in the sea..........
I will try the museum and see where I get!

'R/Pty' stands for Rear Party, the part of the unit that either was the last to leave a location or stayed there whilst the rest went to Northern Ireland or, possibly, the Falklands!
If it wasn't with 29Cdo in the Falklands in 82, would it have had another entry for R/Pty at that time.:undecided::undecided::undecided:
