matman41 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Great truck, looking forward to watching your progress on this one and the gun tractor :thumbsup: Regards, Mel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ1988 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Had time a couple weeks ago to spend a couple hours tinkering on this truck, and managed with a funnel straight into to the pipe to the carb, to get it running. Obviously with no water it was only able to run for a few seconds - have now got all new pipes to put on the water system, so I can then fill the radiator up and have it running properly and then finally drive one of these for the first time!

Citroman Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 In the st.truiden regio there was another fwd in a builders yard. I don't know if it still out there. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it still out there. :-) When I met up with Mike and `Trudo` I suggested that the truck could have been an ex airfield fire truck as there was a military airfield at St Truiden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ1988 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Interesting....any way you can find out if it is still about? Hoping to get the time to spend a few more hours before Christmas on this truck, and hopefully get a better fuel supply fitted temporarily and be able to drive it around the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ1988 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Thats where my dad and uncle bought them from. The building, as you can see, was falling down around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ1988 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Got a couple of hours today to play about with the truck. Filled with water and sorted a couple of leaks, still got one to sort out at the water pump, which I believe looking in the manual is like a seal under a screw cap which you can tighten to just get rid of the drips. Still running from a funnel full of petrol, but had it running a lot better and used the hand throttle to keep it even. Need to tackle the Choke cable and I think un-cease the choke mechanism on the carb so it is easier to start. Attached is a link to a youtube video which I uploaded of the truck running!
