dizzy-t Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hi Tony. How many T's do you have at the moment ?, hope the run along the beech went well, as well as all the other projects you have on the go. Dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Graves Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hi cosrec, I am sorry for the confusion. My wrecker was modified after military service by Bill Jackson of Chaseside Engineering along with several other 980,981 50 ton tractors. It was purchased by Geoff Gatwood and served as Gatwood's heavy recovery wrecker. Arthur Carter has restored his own machine and has never had anthing to do with Chaseside's. I hope this clears things up for you. All the bst Tony G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak1 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Well done, Where can we come and see this then? I've ordered my glass today, does any one know if there should be a channel like the ones in the door side around the top of the door or does the pop out frame hold the glass track in? I can not find any pictures any where and I did not strip the door. Thanks David. When the wind screen is in next week I am planning the first outing ever. (round the block of course).

Alex van de Wetering Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 That forelast picture of Zemsi shows a Diamond T wrecker with a larger cable drum. I saw one of those a few years ago and presumed the drum was a civvy modification. But, over the past few years I have seen quite a few. Is this larger drum a wartime thing or a post-war mod?? or just an early vs late production feature?? Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak1 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I took my bonnet off t'other day as the hinge had become detached, we freed of the hinge then welded it back on, after that we re-bolted the bonnet. Putting the whole assembly back over the engine was so easy with the fork truck and two sticks. Would not want to do this by hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack nr Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yess, now I know what you mean, thank you. It is stored in the ballast body like all the other parts.
