Hello, is your Humber a runner. My Humber has a Perkins 6354 and gearbox from a 10 Ton lorry, adaptor plate is between the gearbox flange and Humber prop shaft.
Austin K5 'Screamer' based on K4 'Birmigham Bedford' mechanicals, the K4s engine gearbox, mated to an in house designed 4x4 chassis using axles similar to those fitted on Morris C8 'Quad' Field Artillery Tractors. An insurance policy if Bedford could not guarantee supplies of their excellent QL 3-tonner. Ford, Karrier also built similar 4x4 3-Ton Lorries to satisfy a 1938 War Office Specification for a go anywhere high mobility 3-Ton Supply Troop Carrier.
@@ddpeak1Thanks, you see in the late 30,s the War Office finally realised their standardised 3-Ton 6x4 General Service Lorry manufactured by AEC, Leyland, Thornycroft, Guy, Karrier, Morris Commercial, and Crossley would be inadequate in an off road situation. With war on the cards using data gleaned from FWD,s 4x4 Model B, the War Office drew up a specification for a 4x4 3-Ton Lorry with the go anywhere high mobility the troops needed on the battlefield. In order to speed up production and entry to army service the new Lorry had to use parts from the vendors existing road going models. Four companies tendered for the contract ,Austin, Bedford, Ford, and Karrier, all four supplying a 4x4 3-Tonner with good off road ability.
@@ddpeak1 Yes you are most welcome , Diamond T was a spin off of Ransome E Olds 'REO' company makers of their famed 'Speedwagon ' range. The very tidy 6x6 Diamond T in the video was designed as a medium capacity breakdown wagon with a Holmes twin boom crane. Unusual to see the one bodied as a general service supply troop carrier. Around 1940 The War Office awarded a contract to Diamond for a Tank Transporter Tractor of the likes British wagon drivers never experienced. As you know the T-980 or M-19 in US Army Service is a 6x4 drive tractor with a decent cab behind a long bonnet, housing an 18 litre Hercules diesel of 213hp twirling a 4 speed Fuller main box a 3 speed auxiliary , twin Timken spiral bevel spur rear axles and a power take off for the Garwood winch . What made the Diamond T stand out, yes it stopped when pressing the brake pedal ,thanks to direct acting Westing house air brakes on all three axles.
Beautiful trucks
