I may well be asked to get involved in the restoration a Ransomes & Rapier 410 shortly. :roll:
The 1930s ?? Perkins Leopard Engine ia being rebuilt at the moment. There'll be nothing easy on this one. :doh:
Heres a pic. I took today of the slew / propel clutches and gearing, and the two main winch drums. :|
The derricking on this one is operated by a hand winch. :o
