Superb. In case anyone wasn't aware, the section at the back of the tractor units contains the ballast to prevent wheelspin when the unit sets off from stationary.

That is something. Remember seeing AEC trucks hauling lead bricks up a hill in the early 70's. The truck had some difficulty doing it but they were always heroes to me.

This is where scania got its V8 from....the AEC... I may be wrong,but scania bought the rights from AEC to build the V8,and scania have just kept improving it.
@bonusnudges11 ай бұрын
I’ve heard that as well . As far as I’m aware the AEC V8 engine was problematic with crankshaft failure when British Leyland was formed , they ditched that engine and sold the patents to Scania . Scania sorted out the crank problem with bigger bearings and that engine was in production up until the mid 2000’s when they changed it .

@splitters2477 @bonusnudges Both of you have clearly not looked at either AEC, Scania, or both V8's. Apart from both being water-cooled V8 diesel engines, they have nothing in common! Their construction is complete different.

We replaced our fleet of Guy Warriors, both tippers and truckmixers, with AECs in the late 60s and early 70s. The AECs scrubbed out front tyres in about 10,000 miles, and they went through balance beam pins and bushes too quickly, but they were less likely to turn over than the Guys.

If the info above is correct, then this AEC would have been re-engined at some point. The original would likely have been an AEC AV760 in/around 1970 for the original UK 'H' registration. The Leyland L12 was the naturally aspirated version of the TL12, developed in the mid1970s from the AV 760 AEC engine. Apparently this, and along with the LT11, were hasty developments due to the failure of the AEC V8s and the Leyland fixed head 500 series.
