You have such a cool thing going with the channel and the projects i cant stop watching. I do admit i came from WD but i stayed for every single video and the adventure has been worth all the time i spent. You truly did encourage me to go out and fix the machines that were left for later times, had some old ATVs/dirtbikes i just needed to put time into and having your videos in the background makes it so much more bearable. Don't think i will ever have the time or money for an armored vehicle restoration any time soon but maybe one day and i will know who to blame for it. Keep up these awesome videos, and thanks for letting everyone in the group to add something the video. Seeing the pups always makes the day better.

Joe, thank you for all the education. One little tip from someone who works outdoors, often in the UK it rains but only for 10mins, if you get undercover for 10mins you don't get wet, unless you like getting wet, so far you haven't given that impression.

roger that, i've seen a few with Dowty kit still fitted, but no drive shafts (easily made i know) i guess in them days the MoD were or might be a little niffed if a bunch of civi's actually made them work instead of drowning by leaving plugs out - a good friend of mine had one and got tugged by the military police, who thought he might have nicked it, it took twenty minutes of explaining, them cops are not very bright

Besides that this vehicle has a lot of similarities with a colander😀 At th other hand I really hope you’ll be able to refurbish the vehicle so that it can be used as an amphibious vehicle again.

I remember going to an auction of military vehicles at an adventure centre, maybe late 90's, in Norfolk. Chieftains made around £3,500, but a Stalwart with crane made most money of all, with a hammer price around £8,500, full working order..
@davyfella Жыл бұрын
I've seen a modification where quick release hydraulic fittings are plumbed to the hyd lines from the engine driven pump. That way if the engine dies on the Stolly, you can connect up a stand alone hydraulic rig or connect it to another Stolly similarly equipped with jumper hoses so that you can operate the crane to unload whatever is in the load bed in order to lift the engine decks to access the engine.
