question tm engine problem

[eddy8men]

hi fella's

I bought a cheap tm with crane for range recovery tasks, (Churchill's hopefully) the truck had been used by british coal as a fitter/tyre wagon hence the crane and other mods, it was advertised as missing the transfer box which was an easy fix but on starting for the first time today it threw a load of oil out of the left side of the engine, on closer inspection it was found to be a missing pipe from the union pictured. the top pipe feeds the turbo the other the fip but i'm buggared if I can find where the missing pipe went, can someone please enlighten me as to what i'm missing and where it goes to.

 

cheers

Could be oil pressure switch or a take off for an oil pressure guage !!

Hi the large pipe feeds the turbo the small one feeds the injector pump the vacant hole is for the combined oil pressure gauge and oil pressure warning lamp sender unit. If you cant find one just put a standard oil pressure switch in.

Good luck

Andy

I wouldn't get too excited Rick, I've driven several TM's, admittedly civi versions and hated the b----y things. They were not well liked by owners or drivers in the haulage industry.

When you are used to driving bedford mj's the tm is like a rolls royce

There is a seller on Ebay breaking several ex-military versions - "Bedford TM breaking for spares".
