Try the adjustments. Pay special attention to the overrun (hold) brake .

And that warning comes before the water level rises to a point it stops or impinges on fuel flow. So do heed it.

Spot on, 15 1/2 tons and 9 foot 2 inch. Over here I had mine transported 200 mile round trip for £300. And only 30 miles at modern transporter speed 2 1/2 hours max?.

Now I'm really playing at "Guess the vehicle",...I lost.

I'd still check the piston, if OK, the valves. If OK put some new push rods in..Who knows? My curiosity would be really kicking in though....Win or loose. (The expense!)

Amazing pictures, great video, I am so jealous, that looked to have been a really inspiring drive out, camp over, and 'event horizon'. You snug as a bug in a rug..red, enjoying? the raw camping sensation. Ether way. Perfect.

Sympathies..I am just starting to have these symptoms now on my 5 ton. Sometimes skidding and banging in reverse, or actually winding up before I sense the problem and drive forward to take off the strain. To avoid this happening at (any!) speed I have a transfer case, and a gearbox waiting to...

I like the way you diagnosed the problem and hauled off road before more damage ensued. Merritt points.

Some pictures would have rounded up the story. and I Can not fathom this sentence at all, (humor me and translate) "Oh, did I mention that it was 90 couple degrees and the floorboards were about 200?? No pain, no gain...right?"

That is one strange looking truck. (sort'a uggllyy)//but..nice. Will be following it's sale and hopeful restoration with interest. And in fact looking through the link by Papabear has definately made me make an offer for the duece I had posted as..'past it' . A am thus persuaded to make the...

Today we delivered the Hisparno. Belonged to a member of our group, I went to a newly formed (forming) military collectors museum about 20 miles from our location. The guy constructing it plans to have military theme weekends and has invited us to attend. Should be good for a weekends chill...

I'd say your correct. There isn't enough 'pull' on the solenoid to open against air pressure by the sounds of it. (scus'e the pun). I did see that happen once when someone wired in 24v. air horns and connected them across the first battery for 12 volts.

Have to absolutely agree, good info.

Yeah, but a dollar here, another dollar there, (or two, or three, or...)

Yep, mine has the water and foam tanks, And the pure joy and satisfaction of seeing the truck run, pump, pump and run, no words for that, (for me) You ask is it a water cannon? surely you observed that in the first set of videos? Not a "cannon" however, it is a Monitor, And can discharge up to...

Just a thought, Even 1950s cars (and now others) Had (have) a governor that won't allow shifts before governor pressure is correct. ( for the selected gear ratio)

Roger that, old stock original parts always seem to work as they should.

Sit down folks...'READY?'..One of , and my oldest in possession ((1958!)) 1942 Ford Jeep..has to date done..errr..let me calculate..All over Blighty..El Cajon, Fallbrook, Riverside..(base) Camp Pendleton...Lip of the Grand Canyon..Through Death valley, (parked at the "720" feet below...

OH my! I REALLY like that "short" Trailer. Great pictures.

Shame shame! Why is it that the rarest best looking and hard to find trucks get butchered. I will (probably) only ever part with mine to a genuine military vehicle collector/enthusiast, and or as well, a Fireman!. More pictures of our work Past and present, (preservation And presentation) For...
