roy206 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Last juli we rolled our m10 into our workshop too restore it. after complete dissamble we send the hull into the sandblaster and after it we paint it. the inside is almost done now,so we began 5 weeks ago too overhaul the gm 6046,everything in it is replaced by new stuff, begin this week we fired it up and tested everything,because there where no heavy problems with it,we installed it today in the hull back. our testrun:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adEy5j4XiJk Quote

Amphibi boy Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Truely amazing work on the engine, looks brand new. Great work. Cheers Shaun Quote
ajmac Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Lovely Video, the M10 looks to be in rather good condition when you started, where did it spend it's later life? Quote
roy206 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 the m10 was about 20 years in our barn some today pics Quote
antarmike Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 You are asking a bit much of the Pallet Truck!! Quote
Sean N Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 nice, very nice i'd like an achilles one day :cool2: eddy You'd like everything, Rick, your eyes are bigger than your belly (field? Wallet?) Quote
steveo578 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 eddy8men nice, very nice i'd like an achilles one day :cool2: It alot better than a couple you've seen eh;) It would be nice to know how far the turret is on for this M10. Steve Quote
roy206 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 The turret is already painted ,only the barrel must be fitted and then it can placed on the hull,but that is the last thing too do Quote
steveo578 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 So I take it that the turret is under protective covers until that time then? great stuff if its not breaking any official secrets where is the location and what is the background of the M10. Steve Quote
hummermark Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 hi looks good sounds good is there a reason for only one generator or are you looking for another one? have you any more pictures?have you left the engines as standard or done any mods ie injectors,heads? nice job so far keep the pictures comming. Quote
roy206 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 the engines are original with no modifications,the reason that we have one generator is that we not have decided too put on 2,because it is not neccesary too put on another one. thx,but we need no generator,have still 3 here.when you want too do something,we need a driver,s hatch. (have a gamma goat engine here,with cooler e.d ) Quote
roy206 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 last update: we just put on the turret with the 17 punder in it. most work inside is done.in engineroom only install the coolers and install fuel lines. :mad:come on guys we need a driver,s hatch and a turret moving gear with wheel too make the beauty complete.

hummermark Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Hi, I have asked a company in the UK that I have dealt with before to cast the two hatches off of my Achilles - they did not seem to think that this would be a problem. So if you are interested I will get a price. You can pay them direct (proves I haven't put a drink on for myself!) from past experience I would approximate it to be around £3000 + VAT for the pair. If you don't have any joy getting driver's or passenger hatches let me know and I will pursue this and get a more accurate price. Mark Quote
roy206 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 @ mark i send you a private message a few days ago about the hatches,hope you receive it. grtz roy Quote
roy206 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 today we did our first test run!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcxDSjMuLHI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dWDpNEZFbo Quote
