AndyFowler Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hello mate , I bought a new old stock Explorer crane cable from this gentleman a few years back :red: and he is very easy to deal with ! I believe he'd be able to supply a main winch cable also !

Niels v Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 One day I decided to pull it all out, clean it and give it a bit of oil (the reason for the bucket). It took a very long time to get it all out and back in. I used the Champ as dead weight when I was putting back on the drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scammellpioneer Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Air cleaner first coat of red oxy needs a sand down before under coat engine side covers ready for sanding and wot not clutch brake lever and shaft of one side of the engine we bought this small sandblatser and wanted to know your thoughts as we havent used one before we have a twin cylinder 3hp compressor but that didnt seam to work allthoe it kept on reaching the maximum psi and blowing of at the safety valv on the blaster there was no power on the sand, a freind is hopefully going to lend us a bigger compressor as ours kind of fell out the back of the car.....

rippo Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hello, I've got one of those blasters, they do need a lot of air, and if you haven't got it right they won't work. The hose from the compressor to the blaster needs to be at least 1/2" bore but bigger if you can it sounds like the problem your having, Regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 We have one of those, sandblasters, at the club, its driven by a massive 3 cylinder compressor with a 500liter tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scammell4199 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 With most blasting its more about a massive volume of air rather than pressure. So big hoses and big compressors are the order of the day. They have a habit of getting blocked easily too, make sure your grit is free of foreign debris. Have a look at the setup i have on my blog: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?3975-Scammell-Pioneer-Restoration Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scammellpioneer Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 thats good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scammellpioneer Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 the rocking beams on the scammell are leaning in the middle and the brake linkage on top is touching the springs and when we jack the wheels of the ground and lower them there is movement underneath were the beams join the axle so we think it is the bushes or "bush" that need to be changed so if it is dose anyone know were we could get some of the bronze bushes made or were they might be sold we are going to have to get some one to do this part for us as its a bit out of our league haha.

Chev41 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi There Do you need any any engine parts ? A lovely machine you got there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scammellpioneer Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 hi chev, on the exhaust manifold side there is the inlet water manifold, mounted to the cylinder block just below the exhaust manifold? well i think that's what its called it has a bolt at either end, well ours is really pitted and corroded and we would like a new one if you have one? we havent gone through the engine yet so we dont know, also a set of throttle springs for the throttle on the injector side would be a help? john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 There are sometimes water rails on ebay, but no one at the moment. Otherwise try gardner enthusiast or gardnermarine they might have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chev41 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi I am unfamiliar with Gardner engines but I have a friend who has engines and spare parts, can you send a picture of what you need so I can show him, he is 80 so not very good on computers.
