Scammell4199 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Afternoon all, I have a question for anyone who has taken the heads off their Pioneer. How did you get a torque wrench on the head nuts under the decompressor shaft to do them up again? Apparently there is a special tool, but its £75 + VAT from Gardner Marine. Any pointers gratefully received. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70HONEYMONSTER Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi Richard, When doing my heads I put one end of the spanner over the bolt, then used a hex socket in the other end and use my torque wrench to torque the bolt through the spanner? There is a conversion for the torque rating relating to the length of the spanner, or centre of head stud to centre of Hex Socket. Can,t remember what it is . Sure it is on this Forum somewhere.

Bryan Where: M1 is the torque setting of the wrench M2 is the actual torque applied to the nut L1 is the normal length of the wrench L2 is the extended length of the wrench M1 = M2 x L1 / L2 This works where the extension is inline with the torque wrench. There's also a set of calculators at: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/renderers/torquewrench/wrench_formula_main_en.asp , for the more awkward setups.

It resembles the tank transporter I can just about remember massive ships engines coming out of Kincaid's in Greenock for Scotts or Lithgows shipyards towed by these units. It would be late 60's I suppose but they used Pickford's with Scammell tractors. I'm sure there must be pictures of them around. To a kid they looked absolutely enormous.

radiomike7 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Comical to think they only had 112bhp from a 6LW, about the same as a modern 600cc sports bike. They were so low geared that when Sunters used theirs to assist two other tractors with the Bradwell boilers the Pioneer started in 2nd gear while the others used 1st. Top speed was 18mph.

rowehillmaster Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 ..... does anyone know anything about this one ? - it is the one that my mates dad had when I was growing up, it was used for clearing hedges and pulling stumps and was shown at vintage events in SE Cornwall in the late 70s and early 80s - I found out today that is at the Cornwall at War museum on the old Davidstow airfield in NE Cornwall - found this and a few more pics searching for Davidstow Museum on a Google images search - looks like a non standard crane ?

He looks to have had a very hard life as the chassis is bent in front of the crane and at one time the front drawbar hook has been snapped off ,the pto on the gearbox has been broken off possibly caused by letting the clutch out while the winch was unwinding after winching in. But apart from its battle scars its got lots of potential and if live to 120 and win the lottery it might get restored one day.!! do you still have it? and if so did you restore it?
