my local tyre supplier, wealden tyres, has a machine that holds the wheel vertically and spins it slowly while an arm with a free wheeling steel dish that can move side ways and forward pushes in on the bead and forces the tyre off, it can get a 30/40yr old 11.00x20 off a Bedford RL rim in 2 mins, lovely bit of kit

i wondered where you got to, hows the pilbox book going ?

hi bernie, is the rip in the canvas due to the extra power and speed now achieved with the new engine ?

Folks -

 

OK, so the Harley is a hand shift gear change but I just can't figure out where the clutch would be??

 

Can someone put me in the picture please?!

 

Cheers!

thanks radek, you would have thought the infantry would have liked a 100 round mag instead of the standard one ?

could someone enlighten me to A, how many rounds in the mag and B, why if there are more rounds in this type of mag why it was not more commonly found

thanks very much :-D

Look at the Albion 6x4 10 tonners. There was a chap on the forum from Sussex who was rebuilding one and looking for parts and a tipper body if I recollect. Not sen him on here lately.

hi richard, hes not amused with some one on here calling him a liar, hes stopped posting because of it

looks like a dataplate collector, the TW340 is an Isuzu 6x6 military truck from the 50,s/60,s

hi nick, i think the guy who owns the jeep likes collecting brass data plates

regards

hi guys,

the M35 jeep has nine data plates on the dash :wow:, i think the owner has a brass fetish.

as for the ID on the chassis is that left hand as you sit in the jeep/british nearside ?

Hi Graham,

Theres a M38 jeep, which is simular to a war time jeep, has bigger headlights and other small diffrences or there is a M38 A1 but that dosent look like a war time jeep at all?

 

Can you get pictures of it ???

hi stuart, i know about M38s and i asked my sister to look again and she insists its M35, model number TW340, serial number 10006

i will ask for some pics :-D

regards

evening all,

i had a email from my sister in the phillippines, is there a willys M35 jeep ? is that the military CJ3 ? also is there any other serial number stamped anywhere on a WW2 jeep if the data plate on the dash is missing to verify the year of manufacture ?

thanks in advance :-D

hi Radek,

heres one that wont go again,

i dont think so anyway

I am making allowances for Bernard now he's getting on a bit !:-D:-D:-D

Ah yes, i had forgot hes now an OAP :-D

fitting a Cummins :thumbsup: is probably the single most effective thing that can be done to any petrol military wrecker

if someone asked you that a few years ago,.......they would have got chapter and verse of how wonderful a petrol lump is :-D......how times change eh bernie
