Cheers. It’s taken me a while to get around to it but part 2 is almost filmed too… it’s all blasted off and painted this week and the petrol engine is out !

As the D1 is above the licence plate it may refer the to Driving Licence category I think.

Ben o Cam, Mr Hewes, Marty T, Tanks-a -Lot, Lord Muck and Armourgeddon are my heavy plant/tractor/tank restoration KZbinrs. They keep me topped up with mechanical goodness. Great Video Ben.

Nice to see them getting the attention they deserve. I've watched them sit in a field for years, covered in brambles

Favourite truck, on my list if I win the lottery 😮

You can buy one pretty cheap there’s usually a few kicking about. It’s the space and the equipment needed to work on them that makes them so limiting.

Interesting Hollywood factoid: A Stolly (in a slightly altered configuration) appears in the opening scene of episode one of Firefly - a Sci-Fi series that lasted 14 episodes on Fox Television in the US way back in 2002

Glad to see a diesel going in , I thing the rolls engine was its demise specially when carrying petrol , combined with manifold that glows cherry red on full chat , 🙂👍

Cheers, I know a lot won’t agree but I really think it makes them a much more useable vehicle. Running them on premium unleaded has got rather expensive these days !

@@BenoCam Was thinking the same thing, out of interest how does the power output of the Bedford engine compare with the Rolls Royce?

Hiab is one make and Atlas is another 👍🏻

@BenoCam 5 ай бұрын

I have an Atlas mini digger too, it’s quite old… from 1997! They didn’t make them for long. It’s a R404. You don’t see many of them about but you still see a lot of their cranes.

So glad your doing a diesel swap i would have used a 6.7 Cummins 6bt

@BenoCam 5 ай бұрын

That would be a lovely engine but I wouldn’t know where to get a converter plate made/copied to connect it onto the stolly gearbox

@marknewell7355 5 ай бұрын

@BenoCam this is the dream project for if only I had the space if did get the chance I would have gone down the route of the 6bt either 6.7 or 8.3 been a while since I've seen a bedford engine but their bell housing are not too far off the 6bt my thinking was to use a SAE bellhousing adapter but having never had the thing to look at could be way off but there is loads of companies online that will build you one to fit the engine and gearbox you choose just come down to budget but the 500 isn't a bad engine just old and not many parts perkins Cummins are still pretty much still in plant and machinery also trucks so there is plenty of parts to go at. Thanks for the reply will be watching regardless mate

@marknewell7355 5 ай бұрын

I think the L10 and 8.3 Cummins are the same bellhousing as the bedford turbo 500 they all was used in a the bedford TM with the Heaton and fuller gearbox
