Possibly a Morris 3/4 Ton pattern axle, in those circles there are some drum 'blanks' out there that can be machined to suit. Abother option for getting the drum off could be to drill a set of 3 holes diametrically as opposite to each other as you can get through the drum, but not into the hub, then...

Indeed congrats on the new job and good luck with it too! Fingers crossed you'll be able to work out a new schedule with them

Does anybody know what these 3 stud 16" wheels came from? I know I'm a bit late to the party, but the PCD will almost certainly be that of a pre-war Morris. Our 50's Thwaites Nimline has Morris Commercial 5 stud 16" rims on the front (I know your's are 3 stud) which are the same PCD as La...

Glad to hear that you have finally had some better fortune with the turbo!

Welcome to the world of working on heavy stuff PJ, and a really useful forum too! If you take a look at some of my posts you'll see that I have a similar machine, all be it 2wd and a Sitemaster, but the controls are broadly the same, and I did my best to detail which fluids can be used instead of th...

Will need to take a dig round for it, but before I start doing the job I want to get my machine shop set up along with my 4 post ramp so I ca...

I'm with Andrew and Tony on that, my P38 Range Rover with a BMW M51 2.5 Turbo Diesel had been stood for a couple of years and barely run in that time. When I attempted to take it for its first MoT it failed for having a massive oil leak, which I traced to the oil level dipstick and oil being blown o...

The JCB with some of it's new friends: http://www.classicmachinery.net/forum/images/userpix/69225_2NVS6IPJHQQSS1662925069.jpg Hidden from view: Letti; my 1965 SIIa 88" V8 hybrid (rolling chassis sitting between the JCB and ''Alice' my 1973 SIII 109") The Bradbury Liftmaster Mk3 3 Tonne 4 p...

Tiny update on the JCB; of all my vehicles it's the most reliable requiring the least effort to wake from months of slumber out in the Orchard. I think of it as my one vehicle that still loves me regardless. Back in February it was roped in to help with the offloading and shifting about of my projec...
