Albion Clydesdale truck. LAD Cab (4K)

Просмотров 11 тыс.

In this episode we attempt to use our new addition, an Albion Clydesdale diesel truck. It broke down off camera before this episode was filmed so we go and attempt to get it going again. We changed fuel filters and prime the fuel system. We then go to fill the radiator with water only to have it all run back out underneath. I then remove radiator to reveal a rotted out plate on the engine block. Once repaired, I then use it to cart son loads of green waste around my property. Come along for some mechanical repairs as well as a cab ride in the truck and in the tractor. #olddiesel #tractor #diesel #mechanical #leyland #albion #british #britishmade #lorry #dodge #tipper#4k #4kstatusvideo #4kvideo

WOW, Steve, you've had 50 years of memories come flooding back for me. I started working on these old girls in 1974 at the age of 16. I wish I was closer as I have a lot of old tools as back then I had to have Whitworth, AF, and Metric just to work on Leyland trucks and buses. Great video mate, these old trucks take a lot to kill them, lol.

@stevesplacedownunder 7 месяцев назад

Hi Stuart sorry for late reply. I’m glad it brought you back good memories and those tools would be very interesting

@jimrio3628 7 месяцев назад

Steve, they don't make grills like that anymore. So easy to put on and off and all metal. Great truck, ugly but beautiful nose. I love the look. Basic utility. Not a bunch of sensors, relays and environmental bull shit. Great video, Be safe, Jim

@stevesplacedownunder 7 месяцев назад

Hi Jim. Sorry for the late response. No they don’t. They all have plastic clips that snap when you remove them. It sure is ugly mate but nice. There’s no technology at all on this one and that’s how I like it. All the best Jim

Drove a Leyland Retriever once, many years ago, had a garbage compactor on the back, my brother repaired the compactor. Had the mighty Leyland 600. This video certainly takes me back.

Here across the ditch back in the 60's and 70's the 400s would output anything in its class. TK Bedfords even pull logs out of the Bush with a jinker pole up their arse. Love that old gear, takes me back. Don't know that I'd wanna be driving it anymore. After 52 years behind the wheel I'm happy with power/air everything and smartshift 😊

Takes me back a year or two,maybe 1968 / 69..I drove one of these brand new, a three axle Reever with a truckmixer on the back. The company I worked for made the mixers and I demonstrated one for a few months. I could add a pic if it was possible.

Good to see the old LAD working away. One thing you may or may not know, in some of them, there was a screw in brass tiny filter screwed in to the banjo bolt on the suction side of lift pump, doesnt take much to block it, or if its got a small leaf in there itll prime slowly and when you give it the meat and potatoes itll suck the leaf and wrap around filter and stop it, messes with your head. something to look at .......

@stevesplacedownunder 7 месяцев назад

Hi John. Yes mate she’s still going and I’m very happy with it. No I didn’t know that about these pumps but I am familiar with them on the inlet, like the secret little bugger on the CAV rotary pumps. The fuel system has needed bleed the last few times I’ve used it since this so I’m thinking it’s getting sir from somewhere

@R.Sole88109 7 месяцев назад

Bloody hell, that escalate mate. From filters to fingering the front end!. Hahaha. It's mint the Albion is fitting in well with the fleet. Dint worry, my old Landy has A/F, Whitworth, Met, BA and BSP to keep me guessing. Wasn't as confusing as a neighbour asking for help with the suspension on his 0 something VW suspension bolts that his metric sockets wouldn't grip. Turns out 5/8 A/F was perfect.🤔 Bloody vehicles😆 Good call on putting your logo on the back of your shirts. Working on the Landy, someone saw the tractor and asked about it. So I told him how mint the channel and SPDU team is, hopefully you have at least so more views if not another sub.👍🏻

@stevesplacedownunder 7 месяцев назад

Hi mate sorry for late reply. I’m glad you helped your neighbour out and informed him about us. Hopefully the hooer will come over and have a look. Well played mate

@Tiger351 7 месяцев назад

Glad to see you got the old Albion running again, the NA Leylands are pretty hard to kill although the later turbo ones really don't like getting hot (blew up at least 1 680 in my time in the bus industry). The more I see this one the more it reminds me of 1 that was running around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie in the 80's, same colour scheme but had a 2 way gate on the box so the bloke who owned it could load an old wheeled Bobcat into it for residential landscape work.

@stevesplacedownunder 7 месяцев назад

Hi Robert. I’m glad it’s going too mate. Very happy with it. Maybe they were harder to cool in a bus do you think? Just a thought. It could have been the same one. I don’t remember where he said it came from originally. It may well be it

@adrianorourke2893 7 месяцев назад

Hi Steve, I'm pleased to see that I'm not the only one that goes to do one repair and you find more that has to be done. That Albion looks like it's a bloody good truck for it's age, I don't think the modern stuff will last that long. One good thing about Pommie gear is that companies are making replacement parts [except for D series] at reasonable prices.

@stevesplacedownunder 7 месяцев назад

Hi Adrian. No mate that’s right. It’s how it is here at my place. Especially on the stuff I buy because I get it so cheap it all needs a lot of work. It’s in brilliant condition mate. Exceptional really for its age. I’m very happy with it. I’ve been using it a bit off camera too. The parts were very cheap and here in record time. I haven’t played with much pommie stuff so far but will be more and more I’d imagine

@MattysWorkshop 7 месяцев назад

Gday Steve, that Albion is a bloody gem and to still buy parts for is fantastic, I’ve often thought about buying a truck as a toy and putting it on club plates but to find the right one is another thing, you might have to yell out when you do that hard stand, great episode mate, cheers

@stevesplacedownunder 7 месяцев назад

Hi Matty thanks mate. Yes i think you should get one. It’s a fairly easy process once you have the truck itself. That’s the hard part. About 2-3 weeks for the hard stand, still gets some stuff out of the way. It sounds like you want to do the carting mate with the Albion?

Now we are wondering if we should or not.

hi there, greetings from England, i grew up with these lorries, some had a smaller door, the cab was made by Motor Panels in coventry, known as the LAD cab,might be an idea to have an oil change and attend to the non standard air cleaner,still a lot of work if you want it to be prestine,

@stevesplacedownunder 7 месяцев назад

Good video mate ! You covered a lot in this one . Good the old Albion was not hurt with the coolant leak . I know what you mean about taxes , just doesn't seem right sometimes. I even read an article about the alcohol tax that just went into effect in Australia in our news here , believe me Steve its the same here as far as taxes . I did want ask a question though . On your rego on your cars and trucks does that include insurance on your vehicles ? Interesting way to split the gears on the Albion , first time I have seen that . Thats what sets you apart from a lot of the others Steve , the details that you put in . Scott 🌵

@stevesplacedownunder 7 месяцев назад

Hi Scott. No it wasn’t hurt thankfully. The tax is out of control. We are ripped blind mate. To get rego here we first need to buy a CTP green slip. Compulsory Third Party. It covers for injury but nothing else. We then need to buy other insurance. Can get a minimum one that will cover damage to the other persons vehicle or one that will cover everything. Depends on how much you want to spend.
