AB grader yes as it has walking beam suspension but LD55 no as it has conventional axles.

So what other vehicles use them, overall chains need a fixed distance between axles and wheels must be kept in line? Pioneers, Explorers, Martians, Sentinels and dedicated off road plant are the only possibilities I can think of.

Overall chains on a Militant??

How were you expecting to bleed the injector lines by using the lift pump?

First diesel I have ever seen with a carburettor......

That makes sense, I remember using the overdrive as a top gear and it had a surprisingly high top speed.

Remind me, do these have a 13 speed gearbox rather than the 9 speed Fuller fitted to the recovery? I seem to remember it was a 4l 4h with overdrive on 4h and a crawler. I nearly bought one from DC about 25 years ago and drove it at Bruntingthorpe but the cab was in a worse state than yours.

Yes, but no blue 'change' against display name.

Thanks Nick, I suspect the moderators have more advanced access to the site.

Just looked into account settings Richard, there is no 'change' option for username, only email and password.

Bit like this?

What can the pump cope with Rob, do the rotors need some sort of lubrication as they would get from diesel?

Just tried a vehicle search with DVLA and Q645 GFV comes up as cannot be found.

Christmouse or Draindeer??

Artists Rifles as in the London Regiment, I found the picture he posted:

Witham after the village where Paul Southerington lived, no 'h' and no 's' on the end. Originally Witham Landscapes then Witham Specialist Vehicles. I suspect they are in poor condition as they clearly state for offroad or site use. https://bid.mod-sales.com/auctions/7671/witham10112/lot-details/09bec7d6-32c3-4f25-aef0-ac9800c72375

IIRC it was member 'Artists Rifles' who found a source for the mounts. There was a picture on his Militant thread. All 4 versions of the Martian had the ball mounts as did many Militants and Constructors. Don't remember seeing them on Antars or later RLs as mentioned above.

Hi Steve, There are a couple on the show circuit but not belonging to anyone I know. https://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p671095361/h2d19c300#h1f90fc04

Have you looked at 1" x 16 tpi UNS? LH may be an issue.

Cannot help with the dimensions but this will give you an idea of the style: https://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p671095361/h2d19c300#h2d19c300 Which version do you have, there was a 10 ton GS cargo FV1121 as per the link, a long wheel base version and a tractor, GS for 8" howitzer FV1122 that had a full length canvas tilt at almost the same height as the cab roof? This is my old one, bought from Witham in 1988 with just 1200 miles on the clock and never had a load in the back. Edit. Apologies, I completely missed 'artillery' in the title'.

From the Rolls Royce Motors servicing manual 1972:

It still goes on, some clamp on battery terminals are 5/16" BSF and until fairly recently seat belt mountings had to be 7/16" UNF. Tyres are another anomaly, the width is metric and the hole in the middle is imperial although in the 1980s Ford, Jaguar, Mercedes and various French cars used fully metric tyres on some models but it did not catch on.

Taken from the vehicle manual: Tractor-limber, wheeled, GS FH70, 10 tonne, 6x6, w/crane, Foden
