Now THOSE are the sorts of 'convivial' support get togethers I just love. Shame you are so far away. (But I WILL 'drink a toast' to (and for) you tomorrow night. Fascinating write up, great pictures and good thread.

Great looking Truck, (and). What a home from home that would make.

Welcome to the ("Goat Herd") hobby, site, and happy days to come. That Goat looks pretty much complete. (and) maybe the engine turns out to be ok. The gearbox removal is covered in the T.M.9-2320242-20. Para.2-135. Page.2-189. Straight forward enough task. Good luck, post up your progress with...

Not another can I, should I, would I, ought to (risk it) Post. NO. Stick to your awsome looking wrecker and that nice trailer. Great looking outfit.

Loads of "things" work fine. UNTIL! Still NOT made or recommended for an LMTV....IS IT worth the risk?.

That is a splendid looking vehicle. And deserves a thorough restoration job. 13 ltr 6?. Great pictures. And actually my 'wee' M62 Wrecker dials in at 26 ton Loaded fully. As is. And no it can not be driven on a car license, even if it is in the 'historic' class actually. As is HGV class2...

I will take pictures when we move the vehicles, perhaps this weekend, as the wrecker (typical) is right at at he back of "Que" right now. And Allthough pronounced "hollybone" the correct spelling for the British Tank Bars is, HOLLEBONE , After Colonel Hollebone who invented them.

Ok..let's see what happens here...I can not find any Good reason, as to why that should be happening. Check the settings in your profile etc.

That is one heck of a trip you are planning. Good luck, and post up progress of the journey with some pictures.

I just clean excess rust and dirt off, mask up windows mirrors and lights, and spray away.

If you are pumping (grease in), and nothing is coming out of the U joint, the gun is not pumping. IT WILL come out IF it (the grease) is going in. I have guns that pump through some nipples, but do not on others, although they 'feel' like they are. The air grease gun DOES shoot the same grease...

As mentioned, change them all for peace of mind. If one is dodgy then the rest may be suspect.

I am WELL impressed, (and) can't imagine the expressions as I drove to or arrived at an event with that outfit. I mean...really nice..or what..
