I have spent the morning removing the reduction hub and it is in perfect condition. The only problem I have is I am missing the opposite side one so I will have to make one??? or something. I can't believe that after all these years it is still like new.

A nice win to start with Colin. Or half a win. I will be over some time in the next few weeks so I will look forward to a closer look.

Hi Colin, If you have the parts listings and the manuals start by recording the parts numbers, and descriptions you need. It is surprising what actually turns up when you have the number and description & a forum full of Turret heads..reduction drive might be a stretch, but none the less it needs to go on the list.. that reminds me, is anyone chasing a highway gear sprocket set for a 1932 Zundap motor scooter?

Hi Jack, this is indeed a great start. See you in a few weeks, we are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks though
Hi Rob, I would love to have a parts list for one of these but I think they are as rare as the tank itself. I'm sure I can work something out for the reduction hub. I think it's only a 2:1 so I think I would be able to find some gears and I can make the hub itself. I have had a internal rack made before but with water jet cutting these days most things are not so difficult and not to mention that I have to have one. Colin.

Hello one and all.
I'm trying to get time to work on these tanks so here's where I am.I have stripped what ever I could out and got the drive train out as well. I was a little disappointed when I lifted the trans up I found a few lumps of powdered casing underneath so that just means more work. The engine however appears to be good.

You can see the damage that has been done over the years but I'm sure it can be repaired.
I can see the gears amongst the crap and believe it or not I don't think they are that bad. But I could be wrong. Last edited by colin jones; 17-12-16 at 06:24. Reason: Additional info.
