Awesome stuff, looks in good condition. Interesting cab too. Seems to run great.
Has the same blade set up as ours.

Is that another fuel tank behind the seat someone has added? They were originally under the gearbox.
I think the challenger 33 had rear fuel tank.

Hello, just reviving this thread. :wave: This is the 3 with the Meadows engine, it has been sitting here for a long time (late sixties I think) http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo37/dmc12d/drive%202_zps8yn3jecw.jpg And this is with the Leyland engine. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo37/dmc12d...

Remove the suction pipe and there should be a securing bolt holding the strainer in. Even if you fit a new pump, you need to clean the strainer. New pumps are av...

Well I am about to throw a spanner in the works. We have a Meadows powered MK 3 with the reduction box behind the clutch. We also have a Leyland unit with NO reduction box and NO planetry final drives. The final drive housing is a different casting, one has the bolt heads recessed into the housing a...

Further update of repairs. Track frame off, ground inner rails away to allow Cat D7G double flange rollers to fit between. Cat rollers use 7/8" bolts to mount, where as Fowler frames have 5/8" BSF threads. 7/8" bolts will be machined down and 5/8" thread machined on. Will clean f...

OK, we have the track chains just about sorted, but would love to fit some double flanged rollers to help guide the chains. Berco, did list rollers to suit the TM33 Marshall, which I think was the same as the Challenger 3, but I can't get answers from local dealer as to availability. I am hoping I c...

Yes I am the Diesel Fitter down the road. Fowlerman, when our Fowler was delivered it had a small winch fitted to the rear with a pi...
