abn deuce

I think it was mentioned on here some time ago that the Spec's for the winch cable used on the CCKW at least was a combination of exterior metal wire with a hemp rope core hence it being called wire rope . That when it failed it parted with less violence due to the hemp rope. I agree that a heavy cloth draped or tied to the cable is a good idea and to keep others well away from the reach of a broken cable and that one inspect's the cable every time its used .

Quite a bit of gun to heft isnt it ?

Very well done

Its never a good thing to have happen but once it's done you will know that at least the clutch will be in top condition for a long while .

Since i didnt see any winch cable it was a runner !Any details about its markings?

Isn't there a monument to her and on to the first Railroad fatal accident victim in London ?

Then you have to seperate that GOM into at least three levels of Grumpy the basic Grumpy old men ,then the Grumpier old men , then Grumpiest old men Although the details of each group will need to be worked out at the next Meeting of the Damn I m annoyed mens club .

Are you sure about it being Scammells and not Camels ?:-D:rofl::rofl: Still its one of the hardest things to find when you have large vehicles is secure indoor storage and that its reasonable close to home . Looking foreward to seeing the progress of the Restoration process.

Would a single crossing be enough or will it need to have all three a bridge a tunnel and a level crossing so all the combinations can be explored ?

Cheapest way to go unless you really need the four wheel drive option is not to use it so as not to have the drive line fighting its self . Guess disconnecting the front axle would be the best .

Truely one of the hardest infection's to try and rid yourself of is the O.D. one . Once it attaches itself your never really the same again . So best advice is don't fight it but take daily doses of the Friendly Forum and ask question suggest solutions and simple have a good time. Mind you there are cleaning duties to be done by you until the next person joins up . Most of the members are in the club house Cinema watching a verity of Military training films and war documenteries . the mobil unit . http://picasaweb.google.com/archiefbus/MilitaireVoertuigen/photo#5155674493753023426 or our smaller unit http://picasaweb.google.com/archiefbus/LegerDitjesEnDatjes/photo#5155715901532725394

True no sign that they were helping the operation by powering the vehicle , I saw no sign of the tracks moving . Thats a Lot of cable 300 yards or more !

I take no credit for finding the site , one of the others had posted the link earlier Joris I think ? I had been looking thru the huge archive and when I found the Autocar photo's I knew someone who I needed to send the link to .

Its "HIS" dog house LOL you just get to drive him .

AAHH well the worst part of " his " learning experiance is that it was caught on tape , so no matter how he might have told the story .......

Another Welcome to the Friendly Forum from the Heartland of the U.S. where about are you ? The Club house grounds are very interesting as there are amoung other things a sand pit for a bit of off roading a very swampy bit for those with amphibious vehicles a lake for the Naval part of the club several outbuildings for the bicycles and motorcycles a very large Carpark oh yeah a huge parking lot for all manner of wheeled and only those track machines that perfer not to get sand or dirt in their tracks .

hello Boss could you send the other wrecker as I ve had a problem !

you have done very well indeed ! nice to see its was saved and not broken up for spares for others . Hope you will be enjoying your Morris for many years and many miles of smiles

Welcome to the Friendly Forum , as soon as you can post a few photo's of your newly purchased Humber you will be invited into the club house for a sip of your favorite drink of choice and then be given cleaning duties to be carried out until the next new member arrives .

How many ton was the wrecking gear rated at ! look's like it could easily lift a house !!!

Would there be a way to work around the habit? by increasing the pitch on the fan blades and or using electric motors on the fans to keep them going longer at shut down ?

I take it that the lower the number to greater the recoil ......the more exhaust gas traped to chamber the next round ?
