I now own a 1955 10 RB on back hoe

Practical vehicle with exceptional manoeuvrability.

Jerry is always with excuses and going of on tantrums.

"Aye beet bigger mate." Cant beat a horribley strong English accent 😅

Cinematic Treasure right here. Vintage, educational and still, able to capture that horrible 80's infomercial vibe!

I was a van boy on one of these Scarabs out of Wealdstone Station delivering parcels to the local area.

Delighted & Great to hear the refurbished engine running, such a pleasure. Well done Clair, Suggs and the team.

I wonder what caused the refurbished to refuse to start. I'm sure after a bit of fettling she fired up.

The late Fred Dibnah would have loved to be involved in that restoration as he restored and drove his Aveling & Porter roller. Jerry seems to make a song-n-dance out of a simple job.

I wonder what caused the initial controller failure. My first thought is of moisture build-up on or in the mica ring. Could be wrong.

Fabulous and very beautiful aeroplane. The repairs and restoration are top class, well done to all. I'm 74 now and have never been in an aeroplane of any kind, if I had an opportunity to fly it would be in a Gypsy Moth or an AVRO.

We didn't have a three wheeled scammell in our town these were before my time but to watch them work a nice machine

Brilliant - the skill of Andy and making the outer section of the boiler was amazing. Such a pity that these skills are dying out. Great program, Clare and the team are fabulous.

Such a pleasure to see the joy on the gents face. A job very well done. Clare (Clair) and the team are brilliant. The choice of music is perfect and most enjoyable.

I'm beginning to wonder if Jerrys engineering skills are as good as he imagines they are. Turning a taper is quite simple.

Jerry is a bit over enthusiastic! Any engineer worth his salt would have measured the internal diameter of the bearing before tackling the shaft with a *file* Emery Paper would have been the clever choice, and at that you go very carefully. The proper job would have to turned the shaft on a lathe to clean it up then to fit a sleeve to match the bearing internal diameter.

The algorithm has decided i needed to watch a 7yr old video. 😮

I remember vividly those "Mechanical Horses" at the railway station, as a kid. But sadly I didn't realise they were withdrawn, until I was reminded of them, by someone, many years later. They were so versatile and what a fantastically tight turning circle they had.

Cracking series,we really need more programes like this.

Great seeing this again,it was one of my favourite programes.I know its years old now but i wish they would all get together again for another series.

My grandfather use to work at the tram depot at edge Lane Liverpool he was a fitter and turner most of my uncles work there also but it was buses in there day I can just about remember my dad taking me on them when I was very young before they were discontinued but the tram lines were still in place for a few years after when I left school I was going to work has an appearance in the bus depot but I failed my interview my uncle said come back and you should be OK but my mums brother got me a job with plessey telecoms on exchange construction which paid more money at I love it you didn't a bit of everything from unloading to lorry to bilding the iron work then wiring it all up but then a got a job with the GPO I did most out side jobs but to get my promotion I ended up at the other end of the network testing the telephone poles to make sure my work mates were safe and the public I am now retired after 40y it seems life is mapped out for you

Great thong flash

So sad to see her rotting away at a ship graveyard now. Important history dissapearing

Well its 5 years now,sadly my wish won,t happen this is one of my favourite episode lovely to watch it once again.

Back when tv was worth watching

I have only one question: How do you seal the two boiler flanges? I get it that they're fastened with 50 nuts and bolts each, but what's in between the two flanges? Surely can't be metal on metal, right?

Thanks for uploading this treasure! 🥂🥂🥂

It’s a great pity that this show had to finish it was very entertaining show repairing different modes of transport

The English have gone full woke !

Congratulations and respect for your accomplishments. I have a similar dedication. About 1988, I invented a track system to be attached to the popular 4 wheeler. So many times I found myself in conditions of; mud, snow and steep where the only other people were on skies or foot. Water was dealt with by propellers, paddles or pumps. Now I have a system that promises, hydrodynamic thrust from tracks that can take you to the bank to get cash for fuel. Overcoming the water problem, qualifies for deep mud and snow as well as brush and highway. Check my podcast on KZbin at; Iguana Amphibious Truck. Iguana

drove one in australia = had a 440 4bbl and std exhaust manifolds - good distributor and thermo fan electric fuel pump = wheel spin 1st to 2nd auto - squeek into 3rd on hard down ! burgundy tan interior .

The way the salvage squad held the hose is how the fireman held the hoseback in the 40s

Yeah definitely I think it looks great but I think it looks great and I will be there for the whole time she was panting away which is a good idea

They replaced far too many parts for my liking

Now rotting away on the mudflats at Hoo on the Medway

" I have no control of the herbage ??? " LOL !

Truly a Historic Vehicle ! Good Job !

I never knew Scotland was so cold & Snowy !

Never heard of this, but really like it - I tried to get a Divco Dairy truck yrs ago ...

Don't make them like that anymore. The machinists that built the engine had no CNC lathes it was built by British craftsmen who knew what they were doing. My grandfather worked for vickers on any machining project you could name to ten thousand of an inch waste norm. I'd love this old crate!

Shame about throwing out the steering mechanism..it was easily repairable..metal spray the shaft and re-machine it..or even make a new one.

Metalshaper Tom would of sorted that Cab out.

Worked for BR at bishopsgate for 2years as a van boy in 61to 63 done a lot of miles in one of these. We also had some with wooden cabs

That guy's an arse, treating the team like that when they are sorting his boat for him!

Pls response

Red hot fox 😊
