This usually means the photos are too large and need editing to reduce them, I reduce mine by pixels making 700 the largest number.

thanks we will reduce sizes and see how we go,i am completely hopeless at this kind of stuff ,have got my wife on the job now seems a bit less of an effort to her .Richard did they all come standard with air compressors? if so mine has gone walkabout at some stage.

John, this drivers handbook is not only for the Humber, but your Humber in particular. I have only ever seen one original copy, this one, bought through E bay 4 or 5 years ago. From memory it may have been around Buderim/Maroochydore Queensland.
Amended by J Calder (?)
Rest assured, I will continue to look after it!
Air pump was the usual for the era, mounted on the right side of the gearbox with a control lever extending through the side of the transmission tunnel. If you do not have the pump, there must be a blanking plate in it's place ( Blitz ones fit). And yes, there would most certainly have been one fitted.

Well bloody hell hey,whats the chances of that in the coincidences book. Air comp, i hadnt even thought to look for one there,i assumed the pics of one mounted under the bonnet somewhere on this site must have been the spot,but there doesnt appear to be anything on g/box just a couple of plates,blast thats something else i have to look for!
Have found the manuals in that vintagemanuals site and will order some in the new year, thanks rich

Speaking of manuals i just had a score at work last week ,one of our subbies (we drive semi freezer pans) an irishman was in the army way back when and kept his inter 6x6 f1 and f2 training manual and gave it to me the other day after showing him some pics of the Humber and Diamond T,its in very good cond and with some of the photos there is a few different rego no,s on various trucks.I have one lined up(truck) so will come in handy when that comes home.
P.S. pics up when we get time to downsize them

Now here is a picture of the right tool in the brackets. I also added a shot of a spare pick head holder if you are after one.

[john piercey]
