well a good day was had today,sorted outa few niggly probs and got her started up again,ticking over a lot better than it was as we have a bit of data to work with,got her reving to about half revs this afternoon but think we hav a couple of dodgy injectors as starts back firing over1500 rpm,quite funny as they heard it in guardhouse and all came over ,thought we were firing a machine gun,made our day did that.monday we,ll check which injectors are not working and replace them,so tuesday she will be able to move about under her own steam,sorry but forgot to take camera today but will video it on next week for you to see the journey continues. andy

deffinatly chieftains

its a bofors FH 77 A very different to brit ones

paul i,m pretty sure this is what you have with different muzzle brake bofors fh77

yep it was 2009

i,ll be there with awdc stand

think you will find double de clutching on the up shift and down shift will work ,same gearbox as the old leyland marathon pigs to change till u get the nack of it

that system is about to be changed,next project to do,putting slide plates on underneath of conq and a winch with pulley system to pull on and off so we,ll only have to drop one end of trailer for we are not getting any younger,hopefully we,ll be out and about with it in the not to distant future

i,ll second you on that choice,in my mind the best arv produced,an awesome peice of kit

sorry to say due to other work commitments niether john or i have been able to work on conq this weekend so nothing to report but we,ll be back next weekend for whole week working on her ready for the slab outing regards andy

i will try and get you in the museum one sat so you can see it ,u,ll be like a kid in a sweet shop lol

tamiya leoperd is a good model but the trumpeter chally 2 is not a very good one compared to tamiyas offering

hi yes would make it easier to go 12v,change bulb,heater unit and you will need lhd steering box and pipework to fit it,and dash bulbs,and relays in fuse box as they will 24v

next startup should be better as we have some data to play with on program now,and also she was running on only 12 plugs rather than the 24 she should run on as we didn,t have 2 mags going, glad you enjoyed it andy

the link for conq startup video,light wasn,t very good as getting dark and bad lighting in shed enjoy

yep thats the one

here,s the one in reme museum at bordon

futher progress report.finaly the start up after numerous coolant leaks,drain it down,fill it back up and so on cured them then couple of lecky probs ,sorted them and 5 oclock spun her over to get oil pressure and check other systems. switched the pumps on and couple of spins she was ticking over a bit roughly but running,next weekend we will work on the running parameters to get her reving properly but well chuffed at what we achieved today as its a learning curve for us.will post a link to utube video when its finished uploading,you will hear a diesel engine running as we slaved off the militant wrecker as we forgot to charge conq batts haha hope you enjoy

its only a thought at moment either the reme cent arv or conq on the scammell constructer,so needs fair swing in

as for the duxford conq arv watch this space !!!!!!

how wide is the access gate to the new site,doe,s anybody know ?

no this one came direct from reme bat when disbanded

lots of people in the tractor pulling world have done it on meteor engines but conq is m120 engine so it is a whole new learning curve for us , john has worked out most of the parameters from original engine specs so we hopefully are 3/4 of the way there,will tell you what happens after sat when we start it up

futher update.didn,t get round to starting up today as a few issues with cooling system which are sorted out and starting to plumb the fuel system in so fingers crossed we deffinatly will go for start up next saturday and will post video for you all to see. its seems slow proggress at the moment as we have only one day a week to work on it but it will be done for 27th of feb

i,m sure we will be able to put a video up for you when we startup and when it goe,s out to slab common there will be a flurry of videos taken by interested parties,but on condition they post them for all to see
