Merry Christmas Clive so the foot plate box (F) is 19" the tray is 10' 8" long minus tool box (d) lid (g) ? The parts we have would be a MK X so I think I need a plans or Details of a MKX . The front reinforcements top right of the photo to me indicate a later MKX where do I look we have no seat or mounts ,list of changes,carpenters manual ? .Regards Mal ps the chain hanging down in the Briggs photo is that not the scotch roller chain .

The British & Australian models look very similar. As far as the difference in Mks go very similar as Mk X evolved from the various changes through the previous models from which Mk VII was the starting point for this style of layout evaluated from the purely experimental Mk V & Mk VI as the result of the 1884 War Office Committee on transport vehicles. The most obvious differences are:
Length
Mk VII 9' 5"
Mk X 9' 1 3/4"
Weight
Mk VII 16cwt 2qrs 6lb
Mk X 15cwt 2qrs 17lb
Tyre width
Mk VII 2"
Mk X 2 1/2"

The drawing shows a lenght of 10' 8" and the Mk VIII drawing is the same, does the lenght given in this post apply to the deck from the tool box back ?

We are planning to rebuild a MK XI ? GS wagon from remanants available to us. We are interested in any source for working drawings to reconstruct the timber and to mount the components. Unfortunately there is not any examples to go and take any direct measurements from. Our research so far has come from the D J Smith book Discovering Horse Drawn Transport of the British Army and, Len Trawin on Early British Quick Firing Artillery.

Thanks David and Ivor. I will see if somebody here in NZ has the mags! The serial numbers where would one look for that the gs truck had a number stamped on the left spring hanger area?. NZ received five morris c8 fat pre war so that this truck is after that. The NZ army museum has a ford as used in the desert so that is of no help and had no records .

This quad was sold with 500 miles on the clock in 1967 and was mint. There is a photo of a NZ marked quad on the same size rubber. (maple up site) The owner is adamant it had no windows on the sides or top corners which is what I don't understand or find was most off this MK quad lost at Dunkirk? The NZ marked quad photo on the same rubber (maple up)it has the side windows. thanks for your replies I guess I will be very needy photos of fuel tanks and mounting seats etc.

Hi Steve
this is the work we do most days. I would not heat the shaft just press it as 4ton will move it as it looks to be 1.25 inch dia.It would take two hour and if it was not the steering you could just press and build it up and turn it down as I posted just cut some old bushes in half for the three points and press it mark the high spot in the lathe beween centres and press.

Hi Steve I would use two vee blocks and line them with a bronze bush cut in half and I would use a fly press screw type then cheak it between centres in the lathe. if you had an old lath you could split a bush to hold it where it is bent and tap the end true in an old chuck with a large hammer and a brass drift.
running the white metal ,smoke the shaft and clay round the holes, tin the housing with solder a jig to hold it in the centre .
