    CVRT Sprockets - Cost

    in Tracked vehicles

    Posted

    What I'm asking is what price would CVRT owners consider a fair price to pay for a set of new sprockets and replacement (take off) roadwheels? 

    Come on CVRT owners - don't be shy.......... There's enough of you on here. 

    It's not like I'm asking you to make me an offer! lol 

     

    S26 Scammel part needed assp

    I haven't come across this type before but I do remember my other S26 had the same valve.

    It looks to me as the governor is combined with a safety valve.

    Is there an S26 owner who can check their truck and see if they have similar? 

    I may have to fit an updated governor into the system as I don't think I'm going to be able to source a replacement unit. 

    Foden Recovery - tech info required.

    Hi all.

    Are there any Foden Eka owners who have access to tech publications or repair manuals concerning the air system?

    Im looking at a Foden recovery with a pain in the butt air system.

    Initially the truck wouldn't build up any air pressure.

    I found the cause of that (dodgy governor and sticking purge valve on the air drier) but now the truck has no pressure at the range change of PTO switch. No air pressure at the distribution block under the engine cover either.

    Im guessing I have a stuck relay valve somewhere but as I have no air system diagram of tech info I'm struggling to locate the issue.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you

    CVRT Repair Manuals sought........

    in I may be stupid, but......

    Hi all.

    Happy Christmas everyone. 

    Does anybody have access to CVRT repair manuals?

    I'm overhauling a CVRT Scorpion and the only manual I have to hand is the Operators manual.

    I am in the process of refitting the gearbox after fitting a new clutch unit and I am aware installation and specifically alignment is critical.

    Memory is telling me the clutch input shaft has to be 9 15/16 from the hull floor (I read it somewhere) but other than that I'm in the dark.

    I'm also overhauling various other components and I don't like tinkering without the correct manuals.

    I have searched on line but there aren't any repair manuals for the CVRT petrol range available.

    Many thanks

    Matilda coming home

    Hi Mark,

    I did not want to give too much away, but as it was on national TV in Australia the secret was out. Look forward to seeing it out and about.

     

    regards, Richard

     

    No worries Richard -

     

    The story was about to break anyway.

     

    I am looking forward to getting the Matilda to as many shows as I can next year.

     

    It will be great to show an iconic WWII British piece of armour.

    Quite a good article I though.

     

    Something I've been working on for a few years - work to do on the suspension when it arrives in the U.K but looking forward to getting the beast home.

     

    Cant say much more really but the Matilda will be doing the rounds next year.
