  1. if possible get a picture or 2 of the back end axle tie bars and winch should confirm what it is for you
  2. the main difference between the 2 is the back end,if the tie bars between the axles are straight it is a crusader 35t,if the tie bars are canted inwards it is an amazon as they were fitted with a contractor back end, ie 100ton also the gearboxes are different,amazon is lower geared
  3. if its just for grass cutting why not go for an out front self propelled machine,you can pick them up for reasonable money and cover the ground quite quickly
  4. the m74 was a swap for conqueror arv with a german museum and yes the m32 did come from croatia,was just trying to see who supposidly owned them before us
  5. curious here who owned them before us ?
  6. had a day working on on the jib rams and hydralic system today,pins came out of the jib so easily as we though we would have a struggle with but not so, all going well so far,cleaned up the rams as they were rusty,all going well ,pumped 40 gallons of hydralic oil in the old girl and fired her up to bleed the system no problems,operated the jib rams in and out all looking good then tried the main winch,pulled in ok but would not work going out,fiddled about with controls still wouldent work,got out to look at the manual and guess whats all over the floor ??? nearly all the oil we had put in,turns out the pressure pipe to main winch is blown and its burried right under everthing so we now have to take the hoist winch out and the hydralic tank out to get to this f$&*£$!g pipe,oh well thats tank restos for you also m74,s little brother has joined us from aborfield the m32
  7. ours is not quite that bad but still probs with the electrical side as damp and condensation have done wonders to all the multi plug connecters,as far as the control cables go we make a funnel mould around top and heat up wd40 and let it work its way down,usualy doe,s the trick
  8. the man is dead what the hell are they doing bringing this up,all it is doing is tarnishing his family
  9. http://www.sundaymercury.net/news/midlands-news/2011/09/18/dead-hereford-sas-hero-john-mcaleese-was-facing-child-porn-probe-6633
  10. if anyones read the sun today.why the hell can they not let this man rest in peace what the hell is wrong with people
  11. had a play with the amazon today with trailer back on,all is well with it but a bit of work needed on the trailer,front and rear axle trunion bushes need replacing as worn out,off to the poly bush shop for us,also a quick video of the contractor parking up
  12. i,ll be there working on it with them but its a need for speed as they are shutting bordon we need to have it up and running
  13. to ease our workload we have the reme ta coming in to work on it for 2 weeks which is a god send so hopefully will be up and running quite quickly now
  14. yep all starts and stops on original switches plus a couple of extra start and stop switches in the engine compartment for ease of working
  15. the conq is up and running well now,johns perfected the new injection system and simplified it so its all systems go to get the winch working,might even be out in november at the next awdc heavies event,will keep you all informed
  16. another vid from outing
  17. think you will find its one of the prototypes with softskin armour painted in desert colours
  18. which means the inside has been full of water from being outside lol
  19. we can work together on this,been inside ours today and there is a hell of a lot to sort out,main problem being water ingress on electrics,hope yours is sheeted up if outside,near enough every plug is corroded on various boxes so a lot of hours sorting that lot out to start with before we even think about mechanicals,will keep you informed on progress
  20. 1 unused red top 0 hours and 2 or 3 reconditioned,plus another 20 or so second hand ones and the tank has 0 houred recon in it
