handler 69 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Jarek has found me a new gear box for the SKOT. :wow: That will be here mid march, along with the BRDM,UAz and MW 650. Have found a chap here that can work on the SKOT and other Eastern block equipment...wonders never cease! Warewolf ( you know who I mean :cheesy:), is now being sued by me, through the Polish courts. Will let you know how things are going... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty2 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Very similar setup gearbox as the dingo one. You can repair those but not an easy job. Very nice noes to drive with regards Peter http://Www.milmarket.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Wow - you actually found Warewolf to sue?? I'm guessing if you advertise this elsewhere you might have a list of fellow sue-ers (is that a word??) ready and willing to take him to the cleaners with you!! :-D :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Iam more than happy for folks to make statements, and assist with giving him the silver bullet! :cool2: Aussie Dingo's can be rather nasty when they get their back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 :-D:-D:-D:-D,I think I will leave that to the Polish prison services........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Gear box is now out of the SKOT! At least there is a decent amount of room to work in.....new gear box will be here in March. That gives me a little while to check out everything else around it! :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Clutch came out today. Totally buggered.......didn't expect anything less! Taken in to get refurbished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 it had to be, I guess its just that the clutch and gearbox are weak for such a heavy truck...use the best modern materials and you may have a much better vehicle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Pulled a heap of brass fragments out of the oil pump ( you can see it center of the picture), things turned freely after that. Dosn't look to be any damage done there. Exploring the high/low transfer box this week. Massive crack in the control box for 4x4 and 8x8 drive located on the transfer box. My engineer mate is going to make a new one for it. Got on my hands and knees today and completly degreased the engine and gear box compartment. So far this is what the list looks like 1:New Wilson gear box 2:New clutch and recondition the clutch housings 3:Repairs to the transfer box and components 4:Blow out all lines 5:Repair and replace the air components on the gear box. And some other things we have found 1:Replace steering seals on the front axels 2:Complete take down of the fuel lines and filters, clean,replace etc. 3:Several hand cables need replacing, snapped or frayed 4:Tune up and replace the oils and filters Hoping to get these done within the next two months. The flat rack has turned up in Gydnia for the BRDM-2, Jarek will be loading the BRDM-2, UAz 469, MW-650, SKOT engine and gearbox on the 2nd of Febuary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handler 69 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 The new restored gear box and it's componets went into the SKOT today. But the god's were not smiling on me. I tried to start it and got nowhere, after bleeding and cleaning the fuel filter, that was putrid. I got the engine going, the mechanic had a look at the engine as it was noisy....and said that it was only working on three cylinders. After more work bleeding lines, that didn't improve anything, it was decieded that I will have to swap the engine out, luckily I have a spare SKOT engine. Will test the new engine out, take out the old one and clean and inspect the lines etc. More work! :n00b: More photos of the engine swapping out soon........:wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 OK Iam mad, but it just happens that I have a spare SKOT motor in the garage :nut: ! Now to test the new one and take out the old motor and clean the engine space and fix any broken lines and hydraulics, but anyway here are some pics of the new motor.......more soon.

paulob1 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 beautiful engine Skot, you certainly have had no luck with this lot at all...I suspect the skot is underpowered for the weight it has to carry all the time....the engine must have to be working very hard all the time so putting it under a lot of stress...and they were never popular as a military vehicle not just becuase of the driving position but due to the high maintenance.. you are certainly not having much luck though...fantastic job your doing there... cant wait to visit in the next 12 months...

handler 69 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 The new motor, that is going into the SKOT within the next two weeks. It will sound alot better once it is in him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 The new motor, that is going into the SKOT within the next two weeks. It will sound alot better once it is in him! Three hours to get the armored top off the SKOT, and another 4 hours to remove all the stuff off the motor to pull it. None of the injectors were any good and worn out, $1000 Aussie dollars to get cleaned and replaced, decieded that the new motor was the only viable option as I don't know what else is lurking under there :nut:! Lots of nice surprises though, the hydraulic fluid was contaminated with water, so will have to clean the system out, the accelerator cable was only hanging on by one thread, god knows what would have happened if we hadn't found it. Should be an interesting and expensive couple of weeks coming up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Wether its a jeep or a tank, many surprises when doing work on one. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Some more pics for you all! :cool2: The Gearbox has now been reconnected to it's drives and the sludge has been cleaned out of the oil basin.....enough grot to suggest that it has not been touched since 1968! The bottom of the SKOT before washing! We have been told that there is another SKOT in Australia! Bought from a chap in the UK, Aussie quarantine had a fit and charged the $26,500 + GST to clean it! Makes my 10,000 EURO seem cheap for two vehicles LOL! :wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
