Well for me was the "extra" <Buzz> working for a different military to my home countries...I recall some lunchtimes we (the civilian employed) would wander over to a hanger where this RED unusual but handsome firetruck used to be stored...I spent HOURS munching sarne'ys and just a staring at...
CRIPES!! had I payed anywhere near those prices, I could have bought another truck for the monies!..Those "chrome" <WOLO> horns (on all my trucks) are all the way from the U.S.of.A. and with postage etc didn't amount to those prices TOTAL!. and that Includes RHINE tug Boat Horns atop my M54 and...
Hard to see in the picture, but the profile looks like it would"allign" to the curvature of the pinion gears.....if they are flat? that might be bearing retainers or washers.
Is the thickness consistant with gearing taper at the outer edges?
This would mean "chipped" gearing.
There was nothing...
What was the condition of the fuel in the tank? was it (in fact) deisel even?
Check the TIMING if something moved out of timing you would have got a bang of sorts and rough running. ANY water in the fuel?.
Just some points to check before that major strip down..(before which you (will!? do a...
Nice truck and Informative post. I have not read all the replies..But had noted your question "how do I get power in to the body"?
There are TWO plug sockets above your head on the shop body in picture of you holding arm up to truck.
One is for 115 volt A.C. Mains inlet and one is 24 VOLT D.C...
I can hardly BELIEVE it even less when I see some of my "stock all lined up together at a show!) like above. and when all 9 (nine) are lined up then I CAN spend quite a few "minutes?" staring at em' all.
Yep..the logistics are fun getting to and from a show!. sometimes ferry..(not as in BOAT!)
I well know that feeling...I often "stare" (drool?) over my trucks..Specially the M62 Wrecker truck! I (then) Wonder " HOW can I own that" "" so complexx HEAVY (brutal?) GORGUS' Mass of Machinery!""..looking (staring) at the total complexity add ons and extras I iv'e fitted over...
My contribution from the U.K. (modified)

I have three [points I would like adressed.
Firstly. When you log in and then "view" a post then click a photo , THEN close it without thinking ( Instead of pressing "go back") the Steel soldiers site LOGS OFF!! .
Secondly. So now log in again and the post you were viewing has Vanished off the...
did the horn continue or stop due to lack of prssure? Sounds like An "outside source" of air supply (as you suggested) would be a way to check for a MAJOR air line break?
Can't see the connection between the horn fault(?) and the power assist blowing out.
Please post again to inform what you...
Thats a LOT of reading..But I can shorten it somewhat by saying ANY compression Ignigition engine WILL run on a variety of "fuels". If you jack up the compression ANYTHING (reasnable) will ignite and propel.
IE. My old direct injection ROVER MONTEGO will happily run on the SAME "stuff" as my...
yeah...there are a plethera of those in holland especially..When I go to Beltring I see them there in variouse configurations...freinds of many years changed from 5 ton M seriies to these units...I STICK to the "old and steadfast" tho..just something about the whistle presence and (multi) fuel...
OK got the gist now..that whole stuation sucks big time. It's worse when you get a feeling someone is OUT to "short change you" from the outset. I hope (i'm sure allongside others here) that you initiate ACTION against this man and recieve full recompense. The beauty of the high court action...
How in heck does someone "STEAL" something, and end up in court without incurring a criminal charge/conviction or order of re-payment?? Can you enlighten us all as to the actual circumstances of this allagation please.
Had I won a conviction over here, I would have imediatly applied for an order...

Hmmm..You could uv' just takem off the inner wheel for "tracking" better. and the fronts could be "un-riveted and welded to width of rears. Better stance tracking (all six) and Looks. (see picture) easier to do I thought) see picture.
Also (see T.M.s)..Sorry..BUT those rear wheels...
