You should have given it bit of a squirt and sorted the guy in the silver ute so does it fit the maccas drive thru

Today it was check out the winch cable and see how long the cable is.
It was lubed and the red paint for maximum extension redone.
The cable is perfect and rust free.
The only defect is some broken strands where it bends coming out of the hull when stored..............a easy fix by slightly shortening the cable if it gets bad enough to warrant it.
I was also checking the accuracy of the in cabin cable spool out length
Indicator and to see if the cable had been red painted.

I learnt the hard way not to play with the the boiling vessel.
It is only suppose to be used with the motor running and I left it on with the motor off.......,..........flat batteries in 10 mins.....not even enough left to make the starter solenoid click.
At least I had a cuppa while I figured out how to get 24 volts into the beasts belly.

Hi ron good to see such progress.

You must have a stuck relay on the boiling vessel mine isn't powered unless the engine is running.


Cheers

I have not done a progress report for a while as there has been little progress.
While the Stalwart has been mobile I have been driving it around the local paddocks and getting some enjoyment back from the big beast.
Still getting some small fuel blockage problems due to rust in the fuel lines after the filter.
I would be driving it further afield except I cannot find one OVERSIZE sign to tie to the front of the stalwart and money has been extremely short and the proper tie on sign is $165 though the local truck place, but I am getting one much cheaper, but it is been ordered and will take time.
The stalwart is only 12mm over width, but if caught with out the signs and paper work for the vehicle the authorities will not be kind and the truck inspection area is just down the road from work and they have been very active lately.
I did a deal with the local canvass repairer place the fix the canvass on my 101 Landrover and cut another weather cover for the rear of the stalwart , in return I fix his forklift.
His forklift took a lot of my spare time to fix.
I have had some oil filter adaptors made for the Stalwarts engine to take spin on filters.
This is not a new idea, but I have made improvements.
To do this I got my hands on a new B series rolls Royce engine oil filter housing.
The filter housing is also to be used for colour matching new paint to respray the motor.
