Thankyou for your comments. Bruce I will do a video when I make the two traversing gearboxes and show how easy they rotate. At the moment Bowerbird rotates 360deg easily, Quiet and no obstructions but on Wombat there is one spot that is a bit sticky so I will lift it and powder chalk it to see where the problem is and grind some clearance for full rotation but apart from that they are good.

David, they certainly do have a very busy front on them and I think they still would have had the odd problem with a few empty shells inside getting caught in the wrong place and there would not be much room inside for two blokes having to bend down to keep it clean. The last operational base close to me that had these tanks is about 9 hours away so I probably won't do a trip there but I will endeavour to get them both in a formal display when they are both running.
I guess you could say they are formally back from the dead now that I have put their names back on them.
