hobby that turns to an addiction! Meet joe one of the everyday people that keeps the past alive.

[@phonotd]

What a cracking set of mates you have Chris, all up for a bit of banter and good fun. It does my heart good to see the way you all interact.

[@Professional-struggler]

Yeah there good mate! Nice everyday people in real life 👌

[@garrysearl2234]

I think you showed the lorry under the sheet at the end of the video a Scammell Routeman and the lorry that needed a cab was a Ford D series not a Bedford being a old fart I can remember the old Lorries excellent video yet again thanks Chris

[@harryharker9564]

I used to drive an ERF with an Eaton twin splitter for James Irlams (now part of Stobarts) The first time I jumped in I jumped straight back out and asked another driver "what do you do with that"pointing to the gear lever.he took me up the yard and showed me once how to use it and then I was on me own.I don't know how I didn't break it that first shift but after a few days I absolutely loved it!!!!

[@Professional-struggler]

Yeah remember Irlams mate! Don’t think they would do that now days! There not allowed to learn by there mistakes! 🤷‍♂️

[@paulwheeler1199]

Hi Chris. That D series is a ford. I used to drive one at a tool hire company it was a beaver tail. It had no power steering, turning it around in our yard I had to put my feet on the dashboard and pull the steering. Bloody hard work. Love your vids mate. Keep up the great work. Paul from Surrey

[@kevinoakes1171]

Haha, yes!, I remember the D series Fords. The brakes where comical !, air over hydraulic, press the pedal to slow down……., nothing, press a little harder…. Nothing !,….. press more before you hit some thing and….., BOOM……!, ALL of the brakes, and you almost went through the windscreen. 😂😂😂. The Ford Cargo, which came after the D series was just as bad. Still better tHan than the Bedford TK to work on though, at least the Fords had a tilt cab. Fun times back then…, with lots of swearing. 😂😂

[@ianbambury3717]

Chris I think the lorry under the canvas sheet is a Leyland Marathon

[@davidseals4898]

They say when you spill diesel on your clothes the first time it's on there forever, and everything else you'll ever own will to 🤣💪♥️

One of your best Chris , I like Joe , cool driver . I remember in my day missing a gear or two with the Eaton box , I used to try and get 2 gears down cause I usually missed the first 😂 I was more a Volvo and Merc guy though . I’ve had the Ford D series too , the piston hit the head near Weston super mare , new engine fitted ! Also had a Leyland Sherpa , hit a telegraph pole in the snow at night near ludlow with that one . The good old days ! Cheers Chris .

It's no older than 1978 as it's a facelift model which had the square headlamps.

[@andychumley3680]

What a lovely old show, some beautiful old truck Joe has there, remember driving most of those, first time I drove an ERF, kept wanting to change with the stick, instead of using the split in each gear😂, the old leyland is a road train or a Marathon, love the videos Chris looking forward to the next Struggle 😊, wooo wooo👍

[@paulfisher7911]

Class video Chris. Amazing how many knowledgeable blokes out there doing there bit to ensure that many old trucks have a useful retirement rather than ending up on the scrap heap.

[@RobertSmith-fv3ux]

Hi mate Here's one for you had an mot on a daft yesterday started it to leave emissions failure light came ,didn't know that if the engine management light is not on its still a pass happy days All the best Rob

[@Jason-br1zj]

Hi Chris, great video, there is a bloke up our way (wrexham) that has got sheds full of ERF's, they say if u go to take a lunch box with you cus it will take all day to go round them all,if there was a way to put pictures on here i would show them, my guess, the truck that is covered up in the video is a Scammel, keep up the great work, love your videos.

[@robbiewright4414]

Ay-up, Chris, I'm new to your channel I would say the cab under the sheet is a Layland Bison. Great channel and content, onwards and upwards mate

What a guy ! We need more like him....... It's a fact that when computers fry with the global warming those 40+ year old ERF's will fire up and do exactly what they did at one year old ! 🤣

[@BLOWN8CYLINDER]

Also, under the sheet..... A scammell.... ? Can't think of it's name..... As for the Sherpa...... it later became the LDV Pilot....and I have one one my channel

Hi Chris, just found you this week, love the old lorrys, done my apprenticeship with foden, i would head for injector wiring first, little ring terminals that bolt on top the injector, may look ok but get poor connection, if your lucky terminal will smoke when running leading you straight to it, good juck 😊

[@mickkilby5419]

Hi Chris love the video with the old lorrys as my dad was a lorry mechanic he worked on erf fodons and scammalls brings back childhood memories often in the yard with him👍

Chris bloody marvellous mate.

[@stevewilson6390]

Brilliant ! My kinda place.

[@lindajudge616]

Eaton twin splitter was a proper gearbox,only use clutch to pull away and stop then skills all the way.We had an 8 wheeler Iveco trakker that was actually a sedan Atkinson underneath good old truck. I drove it for two years round our way on muck away all hills and only missed a gear twice!! Like joe said if you didn’t catch it you was back to bottom of box and start again😮 I was only a youngster and there was loads of older drivers couldn’t drive it. My old man always said you had to be at one with any lorry but with the Eaton twin splitter you really had to be at one with the truck then and only then could you drive it well. My boys loved it she had an eminox exhaust and when you floored her a plume of black smoke would come out with little breaks in it when you changed gear 😂😂😂😂😂 they’d be hanging out the passenger window to watch it 😂😂😂😂😂😂 good old days 😂😂 another cracking video Chris whoop whoop 😂😂😂 Cheers Nick

[@philphil3707]

That flappy disc gets you out of some trouble, don't it 😂 life would be an even bigger struggle without it!!!! 😂 keep the fantastic content coming, I love how honest and humble you are, Good work Chris, also loved the shooting struggle, haha.

[@jameshowson5897]

Fantastic video dude, always great to see people's work in progress it makes my struggles with my old ford cargos look alittle more worth while, I was in partic Worksop this week and the lad in there was up from Newark and he said it's always a laugh when you go in dude lol

[@jix177]

You have a knack for finding the most interesting people!

[@ruthbees7214]

Hi Chris love your videos. I think Joe's truck undercover is a Leyland buffalo or a marathon dying to know. You have got me thinking now. My older brother had a leyland twin splitter got booked in Newport on the m4 doing 90 odd mph no limiter. What a lorry that was. Thanks mark.😁

Hey Chris…..possibly a Leyland Bison under that tarp in the shed…..👍😜🇮🇲. I cut my teeth on an Eaton Twin splitter box, on a scammell badged Leyland S26. 8 legger ….bugger if you missed a gear up hill, just like Joe said……you soon learn….👍👌😜

[@landroverlandyman]

Ayup Chris . I reckon the unit under sheet is a Leyland Scammel. It looks to be a 1979/80’s truck with possibly a fuel truck with the exhaust under slung. Cheers Steve ( old fart)
