Anybody going? I have to work but would like to have gone.

Typical British design then "all parts are interchangeable" except the ones that break regularly:D haha, and bugger I've got a stillage full of Saracen bevel boxes, are they compatible with Saladin then?

how much for a left rear bevel box I might be in the market for the right price or a pair?

The Op is a Lady I believe and a little out of her depth..

I think the op is actually after guidance on the transmission fault due to lack of cash rather than morale...

just my take

Stalwart brake calipers are the same as fox.

But I've refurbished all mine with seals and pistons from banisters.

I've tried a few Saracen and Saladin parts and the stollies are bigger.( wanna buy some Saracen drag links?)

I have managed to get bearings to replace all the damaged ones in my drive train so far, including bevel gearbox ones and input pinion. None of it was particularly hard just need big tools and time.

I did have a lead on some new Center bevel boxes in crates but withams bought them and around 100 shock absorbers

have not got to the bottom of that yet.

I presume you are on the stolly group on yahoo? they can help with some difficult bits.

My other main consumable is tracta joints and shafts all available through Bannisters but the price goes up every time.

A friend of mine commissioned numerous engine dynos in COD donington in the 80s, said it was for J60s,, couldn't believe his eyes at how many were waiting test..

Panzer? in a lake? must be a Tiger.... Pass me the phone Ill give Mr wheatcroft a ring..

Got the old girl running and moved this weekend.

speedo works, bearing noise is gone, handbrake works a treat.

flushed the coolant and refilled with anti freeze mix.

serviced the radiator debris guard... it was blocked solid. trying to get the lights working now... there in a bad way.

10 out of 10.... don't think it had been cleaned since 1991 when it was demobbed..

Hello chaps can you quess what this item is ? its off a post war British vehicle.

Id like to buy your drops but finances say No....

I only got my stolly by chance

hired loads of cars all over the world and only need the stupid paper in the uk..... glad its gone

I found water, emulsified oil or empty bevel boxes. the centralised lube system just dumped the oil into the hull through the front bevel box handbrake seals and various input pinion seals.

I have looked at various bevel box/ tracta fork pictures on the net and my forks seem to be damaged far worse than any others I've seen.

Its first private owner used to take her from kent to the lakes I can only presume that no maintenance was ever done.

The rear wheel station is back on without the tracta knuckle as the farmer wants the space its occupying for the summer .

Left rear bevel box is now a problem for future John.

The slide hammer was up to 30 lbs and hardly moving it when I called it game over.

Back to reality with a thump.

Got the next wheelstation off think I'm on a roll...

Wheelstation off, repaired and on in a day... feeling like a God.....

Taking another wheel station off...

will this ever end?

Try Sammy at A+S in norfolk...

He recently scrapped a load of NOS chieftain turret bins cause nobody wanted them.......

Hi paul I replaced the brake hoses first... seems a lifetime ago and overhauled the calipers and over air system.

Next is 4 more input pinon oil seals and air compressor then the gearbox selector and shaft.
