scammellpioneer

thats good

so everyone knows person keeping up this thread is me John i am 15 and its me and my dad Ashley who is 55 and my brother Sam who is 25 who are restoring the scammell so my scammell terminology is not great but i will try my best haha. we brought the scammell out of the shed today and hopefully the videos will work the scammell has no exhaust on at the moment so doesn't sound very nice. so here are some http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5KeDlQIfB4pics and videos if they work.

the photos dont seam to be working at the moment, we are bring the scammell out of the shed today once we get the batteries charged up, dose any one know of any good starter chargers like the wheeled trolley type, or know where i can get some good 12 volt batteries

ahhh, okay that makes sense

good good, yeah when do you think you will be starting on the pioneer?

okay thanks guys well, there you Niels some photos for you hope you like

welcome to the forum i have just started a scammell pioneer restoration do you have any pictures of your pioneers, also what parts do you have cheers john

Air cleaner first coat of red oxy needs a sand down before under coat engine side covers ready for sanding and wot not clutch brake lever and shaft of one side of the engine we bought this small sandblatser and wanted to know your thoughts as we havent used one before we have a twin cylinder 3hp compressor but that didnt seam to work allthoe it kept on reaching the maximum psi and blowing of at the safety valv on the blaster there was no power on the sand, a freind is hopefully going to lend us a bigger compressor as ours kind of fell out the back of the car.....

cheers Andy, haha cracking photo there Niels, wlll try to get some photos tonight

haha, yeah i will try finally got the track basket of so will get some pictures tomora after work, ours is quite rusty its all clogged with rust and moldy rotten wood from the floor of the rear body so it will take some cleaning. if any body knows were i can get a new winch cable and crane cable that would be helpful as ours are passed there best haha

starting tot take the rear body of so we can re-build the rear lockers and get to the chassis easier and a friend with a large forklift is coming next weekend so it should be of soon, due to the amount of rust we have had to cut a lot of the bolts of ah well.

got the trailer brake servo of and there seems to be oil coming out of the breather hole and air inlet not really sure how these work if anyone knows how they work and all that would be appreciated

thanks not really made much progress as of yet probably should start taking more photos

if any body has and Gardner 6lw parts or knows were the is a scrap engine any were would be very helpfull

it looks like quite a nice one that never seen it before

that's probably the one as you say they carnt be many in italy

okay thanks. what progress have you made on yours so far?

thanks for pics we have ours set up like your top photo buts its very stiff wich means its not springing back easyly. o the right hand side of the injectors there is an arm wich pushes a big cylinder underneath the injectors and its very de laid when you take the throttle off. the bottom photo the millweb add is our old scammell we bought in very rough condition but with a frozen engine block so after about 6 months we sold it to the person who has restored it to that mint condition but he sold to someone in italy and we havent seen anything of it since. also do you know were we ccould find some infomation on our scammels history the army reg is 65 RF 71 chassis number 4177

here you go Neil as far as i can gather all the brackets are the same but some of them are missing the wood from the inside pics aren't great camera was running out of battery. also would be very grateful if you people could send me some pictures and information on the injector side of your 6lw engines as i need to see the throttle springs on the side of engine and would someone tell me how the arm move on the end of the injectors closest to cab as mine is very de-laid and my throttle very stiff i think it is something to do with the arm closest to the radiator that goes into the engine on the side,

Yes I can Neil I will take them as soon as possible

got the scammell home from were he engine was being checked out and it is running sweat as a nut.

if any body has a spare scammell pioneer rear axle or the bush/sleave from the inside ofthe axle wich gose into the middle of the walking beams of the offside side that would be most helpfull

Hi everybody was wondering if any body on here could give me some information on a scammell pioneer i have just bought. The military registration is: 65 rf 71 the chassis number is 4177 and the modern day registration is kbp 517d

rear body ladder made and passenger seat frame stripped and painted

i was wondering if any body on here knew any information or pictures on a scammell pioneer that was for sale in england a few years back but was sold to some one in italy. the registration number is 50CWT it was drabb green and great condition.
