gritineye Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Chris Acock, he would have driven out but despite the coffee pot, the radiator tubes had become uncovered, and he was worried about overheating.................:whistle: I saw him do this at Weavers Down as well, made a satisfying ccrrrrump noise!

abn deuce Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Nice to be able to share the ride . Looks to be a bit tight to manover a vehicle that size in a car park? I m sure it not all that bad since you do it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hi,can somebody help me with wis Scammell? What type is it? In the description is Pioneer 6x6 Could it be a prototype that eventually evolved into the Explorer? The off road limitations of the 6x4 layout were aparrently highlighted during the war, so they looked at driving the front axle. No idea how many prototypes were built (or if a 6x6 Pioneer was ever officially released) but the Scammell register site (http://www.scammellregister.co.uk/history-of-scammell.html) seems to show two variations. An early looking one climbing the wall which seems to have the front axle in front of the engine, and the picture beside it which seems to have the front axle under the engine as in the explorer layout. Your picture seems to show a forward mounted axle, so this could be a variation of one of the earlier prototypes, or a later development of the same. Have any of these survived I wonder?

radiomike7 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Hi,can somebody help me with wis Scammell? What type is it? In the description is Pioneer 6x6 Radek, it is not a prototype Explorer but a Pioneer R100 gun tractor that has been converted to 6x6 with a crude front axle conversion. Here is a better view of the driven front axle: I like the caption, it suggests that it is 'straightening out' the Crusader tank!

Tony Graves Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I wonder if any of you Scammell chaps can help me. I'm after two hinged brackets, in good condition, for a tow bar as used on the Scammell Explorer back body. I have advertised elsewhere but all I've had is scams. You can contact me on 0033 231 10 11 98 or email: lefournet@wanadoo.fr Thanks, Tony G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
