| Eroding the erosion control part two |
|
|
|
| In part one I did preparation work including removal of doors windscreens and a number of smaller parts. About a week later I came back with Euan to rescue some of the larger bits. |
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
| One of the first jobs was to deal with the wasps which had made a home on the back of the cab so a can of flyspray was included in the toolkit for the first time I can remember in a recovery. |
|
Euan was full of energy and we both ripped into the tasks, completing the demolition and loading in just over two hours. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| Although many sheared off some of the lower bolts on the rear cab frame were troublesome and were dealt with using a heavy mash hammer and cold chisel. We were unable to use the 'hot spanner' due to risk of fire in the tinder dry conditions. I packed my whitworth sockets this time as many of the front shell bolts had whitworth heads. |
|
The roof was the heaviest item and it and the front shell had to be lifted over a fence and onto the trailer. |

|
| Euan rescued some parts such as the manifold and steering box. That's the whitworth socket set - very rarely used but really handy when you need it. |
|
Forlorn and derelict, at least some of it has a new lease of life. I'll be back for some of the other parts in due course for the CGT project such as the cab frame and front axle. |
