    I got involved with helping restore Halftracks with a couple of friends back in 1985? or so . I found my CCKW 353 H1 air-portable in January 1990 . And I thought for as rare as I thought it to be and as complete as it was, that the price was very low under $4000.00 as I had thought it would have been much higher , closer to $10,000.00 guess I was 10 years ahead of the game The discovery of Military Vehicle owners clubs came first and fairly easy then MV publications and then through them the network of dealers and finially Ownership of my very own piece of history.

    I m seeing quite a few new photo's that were'nt there before the crash ! Great restorations each and everyone of them . Shows how much interest the public also still has for HMV's !!

    Well that a good start but I think the list is only begun , What of the British ,Canadian and Aussy make vehicle owners let alone all the different post war makes. While I have no ideas what all those types drink , I think this thread needs much more input

    Such a shame someone long ago left the one shown where water could get into the housing:argh:. The mounting pedistals look solid on the sides of the casting are they ? I 'd be very worried about the state of the bearings.:cry:....I know they can be replaced its the getting them out of the housing and off the shafts with out rendering the remainding parts useless! I m guessing after a good flushing that the assembles will be put into drums of oil for a good long penatrating soak. Thank You for the update , the workmenship is fantastic:clap::clap:

    If this is a common problem and one thats bound to happen sooner or later I wondered if the Scammell owners as a group using their combined buying power and the internet would either find an outfit to make new castings in aluminum which seems wrong or go to something stronger like steel and solve the problem properly once and for all ?
