What is the bell crank associated with? Is it for the track warping?

Alistair......which one there are a few bell cranks...... there are the two which connect the spreader pushrods in the brakes to the rear part of the hull and the extension rods which go from the rear back to the front where they then each connect to another bell crank mounted to the floor before returning to the base of the steering column.... there are another pair of bell cranks which connect two short rods onto the brake pedal again located near the base of the steering column........ lots of gubbins in these tubs

Sorry. The key to what I said is in the "Long rods". The reason is to disconnect the brakes, so that locked or siezed brakes do not interfere with the steering operation. I would disconnect the bell cranks found behind the rear plate. these have needle rollers top and bottom. It would be wise to dis connect both ends to check them, working backwards to the steering box until you locate any siezed items. Dropping the cam plate out as well from the bottom allows you to move everything, if its not siezed somewhere.
Check the bearing in the camplate. check the rollers that run against the cam plate, and make sure that you free up the spindles they mount on, as these need to be adjusted when the camplate assy is reinstalled. While this is out, is time to make sure the crosstube is moving freely. In service, it only moves about 1 1/8" from side to side. (5/8" each way) The rollers may need to be removed to grease them at the pins.The flats need a bit of lube applied manually(pulling the thing right out would be best)then when its back in , with new leather boots, it will be good for a long time

As a side note one summer when my regiment The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment were at Petawaw for summer concentration we were paired up with the Linclon and Welland Regiment for the exercise. They re-named us the 2nd Battalion of the Tecumseh Fuseliers. Just think the Hasty Perverts mixed with the Links and Dinks.... LOL

keep the advice coming guys, i've set myself a target of 50 days to get it on the road or at least moving under it's own power, does anyone know of a flathead v8 specialist in england, i'm looking to drop it off with someone who can get it running like clockwork as a reliable motor is no.1 on my list of priorities.
cheers eddy

Martyn Tasker is building three for myself and Nigel Watson, his own carrier runs spot on so he is worth a call... plus Lincoln is not far from you. he rebuilds them and they get returned in a frame and can be "Bench run" so litterally a running power pack to drop straight back into your carrier.
