Hmmmm..... For cutting trees maybe

Does it sweep for mines ?

Is it a contraption to avoid sinking into soft ground ?

Or arms for for holding the vehicle in a container ??

Is it an adjustable birthing chair ?

Welcome to the forum

Welcome ! from Essex

I have just received a set of stencils from axholme, for my jimmy , they are excellent quality, came very quickly and they were very helpful. I would recommend them to anyone. Going to get some crate stencils next

has anybody seen that big car yard in a place called Orange in the south of France ? Right by a major road, loads of stuff in there by the looks of it, I saw at least 2 diamond T wreckers as we flew past ..

sorry mate, your going to have to move to Essex. !

That looks just great

Welcome!

I will have a look

thank you

Thank you for the reply,

I had better go find some metal then and get busy !

roy

Hopefully then it was just over greased, as there was a lot

thank you

any ideas whats written on the door?..........

What door ? ,!

Could anyone advise me on mounting jerry cans behind the front bumper of a jimmy ?

I have seen on some old photos that it was a common place to mount them. Was this a homemade type of fitting , or was there a special rack for this use ?

thanks in advance

love that Scammell

Mrs M wants a chair on the Norton.....but I have my reservations........I mean, just look at what can happen....:-X....(Olive from "On The Buses" !!!)......

My dad had one of these and in about 1965 he buried it in our ( then ) back garden on canvey island., and put a rockery on top.! I bet it's still there !

A photo would be more helpful... but here are some things to check:

 

Is it grease or oil? That will be the first indication of where to look next. If you're not sure then check the level of the differential oil (let the truck sit min. 30 minutes to ensure all the lube oil has run off the gears).

 

The steering knuckle grease level is checked depending on what type of axle you have:

 

Split: level plug is on the LOWER side of the steering knuckle - grease should be even with level plug.

Banjo: level plus is on the UPPER side of the steering knuckle - grease should be visible.

 

Its odd that you would rip up the felt seal on both knuckles at the same time. It sounds more like the vent plug may be clogged, and you shot oil past the seals. But if the truck sat for a while the seals could have dried out, then rapidly wear due to being brittle/dry. By design grease should seep out and keep the seals wet.

 

You may need a copy of TM9-1801 (there a quite a few digital copies available) to do a proper rebuild.

Thank you for your reply , it's defiantly thick heavy grease. It's the split axle type. Just hope it's a case of over greasing. I am looking forward to getting under there,but it 5 inches of snow outside so it can wait !

I use this site www.interparcel.com ,tap in the details,pick the best service and away you go !

Hello, I am a newbie, so sorry if its a daft question., but I just got a GMC 353 dump truck, after an 80 round trip home, I noticed quite a lot of grease on the inside of both front tyres. Does this mean a seal has gone or would you think it's a case of over greasing .?

thank you
