Pumps that are on are absolute dog muck.

If I am going to spend the wedge I would rather pay for something that works well.

After Christmas cross-fit. Dismantling of the heavily converted carrier chassis I got. Poor guy tried to build a tracked wineyard cultivator on the carrier basis. He did destroy british made, late production vehicle, very rare. Still some nice useabl parts though.

Slowly progressing, few parts refurbished (mainly steering and linkages). I had to totally rebuild also clutch plate, even it was "professionaly rebuilded" by some US company quite time ago and never used since. One lever had a massive dead play, because bushings were just weared out crap. No needle rollers there, just bronze bushings, which is quite common on rebuilded clutches I think.
Engine is almost ready, but need new starter motor armature - unfortunately mine has short circuit to the shaft :-(

Finally got the set of "rifle rests" over the top of the armour. It's a sort of "simple shape" but difficult-to-make parts. Very happy with the result
