Is your coil connected with the Positive going to the distributor? If not then it is likely this is the cause of a poor spark. Also worth checking the inside of the distributor cap as sometimes a crack can occur and spark takes the shortest route to earth.

Yes .... I have had the pleasure of driving the 4x4 and 6x6 when over in Australia.

Martin, don't forget that you will have to put a supporrt under the gearbox before you take the cross member out.

As a QL owner myself, that is sad to see and very bad luck on your first trip. Hope it can be put right without to much trouble.

It looks like a Mack, there were a number od WW2 era ones used for snowploughing in UK

Hi Ted, thanks for the correction, it was the body shape that I thought was similar to the Fordsons used by CD. I recollect getting in one around 1961 which had a teleprinter or similar in it.

Hi Ted, I think 2nd one down on right is a Fordson Thames, there were quite a few of these in the post-war Civil Defence.

Martin, The pipe nuts that fit the tank and the changeover tap are 1/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe). They are confirmed in the parts list.

Hi Rewdco, I will send you a PM, thanks!

That could be the Morris Engines Branch, which was in Coventry, Morris took over the Hotchkiss company there after WW1 when they were makng guns, they turned over to making engines.

Hi Rewdco' Interesting to see the scans from the BSA despatch records, looks like my WM20 was built/despatched, about 3 days before the bombing.

Hi Mike, You can tell a QLB gun tractor chassis by seeing if it has a winch or a PTO output flange on the transfer box.

The transfer box looks to be off an Austin K9 4x4 also on your advert yesterday, not a K3 or K4 regards, Richard
