abn deuce Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 WoW , not much that you have done on the rear bogie that could be done by one man , must have been several to be able to guide and move parts around even with the tel-lift .

ruggyjohn Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 trying not to play with this and concentrate on the pioneer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Daymond Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 the new toy should make it easier to find you, I'll just ask the locals for directions to the 'madman' Yes Andy I'll take some pics, but I don't think I'll have a co-pilot this trip out to do any video? Did the MVT mag mention that the militant failed to start after the day of poppy collecting, and had to be jump started by a ferret, which gassed the passers by, the estate agent and the local freezer shop!? It had to squeeze onto the pavement between the shops and the militant to use the inter-vehicle start lead, thanks as ever to John & Dave.

Ah , no mention of that Simon , all part of the "fun" of owning and running these old girls I guess ! Lovely Stalwart John ! Definitely one I'd have in the old fantasy barn ! :-D Be nice to see the old girls lined up for a picture ! :wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin craig Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Whats the prognosis on the engine and gearbox? Are they both sound or will you have to tear them down and rebuild? You are lucky to have a telehandler to help out. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggyjohn Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 hi robin, i drove the pioneer before the strip down and the gearbox did everything it should so am leaving well alone, the engine on the other hand needs a full rebuild, it needs a new block on the last 3 cylinders, don't know what the crank is like yet but will get reground and shells if it needs it as when it is all finnished i want to drive it as often as possible and tak4e it on some decent road runs.
