Our lloyds only had brakes on the🎉 differential ,later models had them front and on the rear idler as well, we had a number of track sections bolted on the front ( no tyre as shown on your machine) I would welcome a mailing address to send my stories. To. Thanks my typing is much faster than texting. Thank you for saving one of our late model Lloyd I would cherish a good photo to frame and hang on my office wall.
Were you trying to attach a photo? Don’t think that works on RU-vid. You can email alastairmcmurray@yahoo.com. Just change the email ending to .co.uk to make the email work.
So I guess this was a form of a pub crawl. I would assume that the #4 Mk1 on the dashboard is a dewat. Here in the States, we use the White halftracks for the same thing, to WalMart for a bunch of junk.
Very nice. Its not that you wanted to show off. Every vehicle needs to be driven from time to time. Me personaly would have done this to show off. Well done you deserved a pint.
@@andremaertens5964 I am interested to know when they were driven out to Elsenborn to use for target practice, that is where mine was recovered from to be scrapped when they were cleaning the range. My engine had a 1963 rebuild data plate. If you look on my video ‘drive to the pub’ there is link in the description to my restoration facebook page. I would be interested in your Loyd in service stories.
Yes, UK regulations do not mandate the material the tracks are made from, just they they are flat and free from damage, you do need rubber tyres on the road wheels along with a ground pressure below the max limit stipulated in the construction and use regulations 1986.
This steering is the same as that fitted to the brengin carriers ,our lloyds had brake levers only to steer and only on the differencial nothing on the idler st the rear that must have been a late imrovement when they fitted the canon onto the vehicle.
Great to see 1 still running and driving. Breaks my heart to hear what you do to the gearbox and steel tracks at speed on the public road stretch is prohibited for a reason.
@@loydcarrier2197 Steel tracks with rubber insert pads are indeed permitted. However, I would be very interested to know what Regulation you believe allows all steel tracks on roads at more than walking pace. The vehicle user/owner is also liable for any damage to the road surface. Or are you basing it on a spurious post from 2014 form someone who "thought under 4 tons was ok" but could not remember the Regulation creating a heresay myth?
@@dukwdriver2909 no, not at all. All the regulations say is that the tracked vehicle must have resilient material between the chassis and the road, thus rubber road wheels count, it doesn’t state that the tracks have to have rubber on the surface contact face. As far as speed goes, you are limited to 20MPH. Those are the UK rules as they stand in 2024.
