Hutch3674 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Good evening Troops, Just wondered if there is in existence a servicing schedule for the AEC Militant MKI (1966)? If so, can I get a copy of it? My Milly has several grease points on the chassis and little brass plates but no writing or print on them, just wondered if anyone had a clue about each of them. As always Thanks in advance Hutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck257 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hello I've just had a look on my militant and mine has the same from left to right reads CLUTCH PIVOT. CLUTCH STOP PIVOT. HAND LEVER PIVOT. PEDAL SHAFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch3674 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Awesome Result, Thanks I am guessing they would only require a liberal amount of EP2 (1 Pump), to keep them free and serviceable.

AndyFowler Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Most nipples on Scammells of a similar age are for oil rather than grease mate so it may be the case with your lovely new toy :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of a servicing schedule for the Mk 1 make dumb questions inevitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 What oil would be used Andy? Lack of a servicing schedule for the Mk 1 make dumb questions inevitable The lubrication chart only states oil for most and grease on a few lubrication points I'm afraid Neil so I'm gonna guess a general purpose oil :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The lubrication chart only states oil for most and grease on a few lubrication points I'm afraid Neil so I'm gonna guess a general purpose oil :nut: Something like OMD-75 or its equivalents do you think Andy?? Can'tt really see OEP220 or OM10 being suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi Neil, to answer to your question, all the lubricating nipples take OC600 (EP140) but due to the adance in grease technology everyone probably uses grease . The following do take grease Generator spindle bearings (XG271) Starter motor spindle bearings Water pump bearings (LG280) All other moving parts (linkages,door locks, hinges) are just oil can lubricated This list is almost identical on Scammells too, all the above is taken from the D152 and R152 EMER for both vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to resume the hunt for a silencer that doesn't involve modifying the exhaust system. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 OC600 (EP140) Hi Butch, Just in case you are not aware, OC600 was a Straight SAE140 gear oil, not an EP (extreme pressure) gear oil. You will find that OC600 was often specified for use on axles and gearboxes that contained bronze parts, especially worm drive axles. If you were to use the EP140 it could be harmful to these components. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi Richard, your right, mind blank l'am afraid lve even brought sae140 to put in my explorer diff, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
