Metroman Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Just a few more pic's, I'm planning to go back on Sunday to fire it up & have a final look over, any body local that knows 432/434's, heres hopping.. Will this end up in my garage :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Looks like the means of transport are already there parked up handily next to your new motor. I can definately see a low loader trailer and tractor unit in those pictures. Problem solved, no excuse for not buying it now :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Looks like some rust spots on the crane ram. That may require re-chroming if you don't want to destroy the seals in the ram. If it's not too bad, you may get away with it in the short term. Our CVRT was transported on that trailer once, along with a 434 (not that one) so i know it will take it.

Metroman Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 The rams will need looking at, I'd replace all the pipes anyway. Saw Mark today & his 432 today, lovely sound. Arranged with Wayne to view & fire up on Sunday, lets hope it sounds smooth............................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markheliops Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi Phil. If we can aim to leave by about 8am - should be up there for about 9.30. Will PM you my address. Can you pick me up? Cheers Markheliops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Who makes the crane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Who makes the crane? Hiab crane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 If that is the same as fitted to the MK parts avaialble and easy to get. The letters BA in the serial number identify as a military version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The letters BA in the serial number identify as a military version. HIAB cranes were not fitted to the Army MK trucks, they were Atlas. You are on my subject here as I used to repair and test cranes and winches for the Army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Right, thanks. Though it was Atlas, the brain cells you know. Reason I asked when MMVG Paul first got the Mk the 'Hiab', generic name now I suppose, was playing up, he did a rebuild on the hydraulic bloke. Atlas were very helpful at the time. With all the kit we now lug about it makes life so much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowtracdave Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You are on my subject here as I used to repair and test cranes and winches for the Army. Sorry to divert the thread a little but I don't suppose you've got any info on the Lucas SwingLift 1 ton crane ? - that's what's on the bed of my Unimog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnkeyiand Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Here's my tupen'th. As mentioned previously, powerpack and steering box is identical to 432. The PTO for the crane is attached via a blanking plate on the transferbox on the back of the pack. Approx mid way along the t/box is a telltale hole which will indicate the condition of the t/box seals. The left hand rear pack mounting bolt will probably be diffy and should be left as such ( total b@st@rd to remove). Occaisionally the lockout rams seize under pressure. This can be rectified by driving with the acctuating lever deflected rather than caged in it's "at rest" position. I didn't have a deal to do with them (other than as a packrat in BATUS) but the MK1 allegedly had a habit of bursting into flames. Braking on the tillers is fine once you get used to it even if they are badly adjusted or worn. I was post '82 and the number on the side means nothing to me. The other point is that on the right side of teh vehicle it would have been covered by the gun planks. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metroman Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks Ian Can you comfirm what this peace is FV432 arm axle support, difficult to tell with the rapping on, any clues, heres a part number 2530 99 865 6162. Box marked 9ACR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Looks like a trailing arm, wheel hub goes on one end, other end connects to the torsion bar. 9ACR is the code for FV430 parts. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
