16svt Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Looks like I got a bit over excited about the PTO, it is a gash job. In my defence, i have never looked at a MK1 Militant engine cover before and i thought the recess where the pto handle is was not normal. I hope to spend a few hours getting it running tomorrow. does anyone have a brake system schematic that they could email me.

Zero-Five-Two Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 does anyone have a brake system schematic that they could email me. Cheers Dan I've got various diagrams from the drivers handbook etc, and if you look at my restoration blog you'll see I've just had my entire rear system in bits, what do you need to know? and where would you like me to send it?

Smithy Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Took these the other day, anybody know anything about this Militant, apart from the fact that it has worked in the timber business at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Chaps, Hope no one minds but I've just save a LOT of the pics from this thread for reference material. Late next year if all goes to plan we`ll be adding a Mk1 Militant 6x6 to the 1/24th scale model line up....will be a nice stable mate for the Matador I think. When the time comes I'll be asking around for some kind sole to let me photograph & measure their Mili to death. Hopefully someone will chuck up an offer of assistance . Excellent gallery too by the way. Enjoyed it very much. Thanks. Howard @ KFS http://www.kitformservices.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 X 6 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Some pics of the baby now she has arrived... Christ how slow... how heavy steering! Looking good ! Alright, it maybe a bit slow with heavy steering but at least they run very quietly with almost no engine noise in the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do find these symptoms be sure to check for the bar connecting you to the Scammell that is towing you along :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Five-Two Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 What an absolute cracker, you got a bargain there! I didn't realise it had a HIAB as well, I presume it all works? Did you get enough spare tyres with it? I still think your back wheels are on inside out. :-D What's the stalk under the steering wheel? has some one moved the indicators, or is that the cruise control? Steering shouldn't be "that" heavy especially when on the move, perhaps you need an extra shredded wheet or something! Anyway the grin factor should help you over ride any issues like that.

eaurouge Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hiab is not working at the moment it dumped it's hydraulics due to a leak... but hopefully all will be working soon! (Need to try to assemble a barn with it and get the tyres off the back.)... Stalk seems to be the indicators! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 X 6 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Eaurouge, this may sound like nit-picking but it's really just curiosity.............like Zero-Five-Two, I think the rear wheels on your magnificent Milly are the "wrong" way round. Militant hubs don't usually protrude that much and the shallow side of the wheel seems to be facing outwards. Having said that, I'm surprised that 14:00 or 15:00 wheels can be fitted "inside out" without the tyre fouling the spring pivot. Wot's going on ? We should be told !

eaurouge Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Will take a look at the weekend... nothing seems to be rubbing or anything so very strange! The advice is appreciated.. Although the thought of swapping the wheels around is daunting!

dizzy-t Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 These photos were taken at the last Malvern Autumn Show 2011, shame it was peeing with rain. Sorry if this vehicle has appeared in previous photos, but have tried to go through them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Daymond Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 very nice pics. eaurouge, nice militant, it's a 6x4 as well. What's your chassis number? It's on the front N/S of the chassis below the radiator. Are any of the wheels spare? I'm going to be looking out for a couple soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Has anyone else seen this on ebay? 250901471696 Peter Oh dear, that old girl has seen better days. Chassis and cab look fairly complete, but that will take a hell of a lot of time, effort and money to make her presentable again.

Simon Daymond Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 most likely scrap price ( always quote clean cast !) + several hundred. Only a few made? - try several thousand, shame it doesn't have a back body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Five-Two Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Seems to have made reserve and sold at £2049. Wonder if it was anyone on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaurouge Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 A combinations of issues.. I do like it.. problem is to get to any shows with it from my location will take too long. So looking for something a bit quicker... still runs great and is an amazing thing just not practical enough for me to use in anyway - and with storage 20 mins + from home I am not able to give it the attention I want!
