I refitted the wheelstation as well recomend every stolly owner to make one.

heater coolant lines replaced fuel tank in hydraulic tank in still loads to do.

I think your mixing stalwart parts with Saladin/Saracen. Generally the stalwart parts are bigger due to the higher all up weight. I tried Saladin parts for my stalwart and found them smaller. I know thats not helping but might explain some of the difficulties your having.

Well the wheel station is on. Found that the bevel gearbox opening that the wheelstation fitting slides into was damaged. Used a steel plate to run the jack/fitting adapter on, greased the tracta joint so they stayed in place and it slid straight on. well made up! on with rest of the fun.

Thanks Ron great tips as usual. I concure with everything you said. I cant see how you can fit this in the field.....

Been a while Busy with work Struggling to refit the wheelstation, Any golden tips? even with my super jack adapter cant get it on.

Like all the German secret stuff

also bear in mind the further something is away from the battery/ dynamo the bigger the wire diameter needs to be to ensure enough power gets to a consumer..

welcome along

Its in this little gold mine of information (V644)Pt.1-FV622DETAILEDACTIVITYGUIDE.pdf

Well the new bevel box tracta shaft has arrived and is fitted and the brake drums are all fitted. the hand brake is working real sweet now. Just have to refit the new speedo cable fuel tank ,oil tank,hydraulic tank and wheel station. the leaking suspension is shelved for the moment.

The hardest part was unlocking the big main bearing securing lock ring. This was done with the box still in the truck. I made a tool like a T from scrap steel and with a 4 foot scafold pole as a lever grunted and groaned till it popped.God knows how long it had been left full of water. Once cleaned up it went back together sweet you will need a press. Sammy at a+s has the bevel box bearings and bannisters has the wheelstation input bearings. the bevel box bearings are also commercially available I could only find the wheelstation ones at bannisters. The box is back in now. Need to sort out the leaking suspension while the wheelstation is off.

Ron.. The way it was wired turned the fuel tank in to a bomb.. If the sender hadn't been rusty the 24volts would have turned the resistor wire into fuse...... boom

Built the wheelstation jack adapter. Pulled the wheelstation. Tracta joint pretty poor due to being immersed in water. bevel gear box pulled and bearings replacement in progress. also found the bearings in the wheelstation input shagged. Its been emotional.

Look what I made today. I had a quote from a fabricator for £600 to make this. I made it for £22.
