A right wagon , nice to see a video without somebody trying to show how fast they can go up and down the gearbox for a change . Driven right just as it would have been in service , Right driver and not a flip flop or frilly curtain in sight 👌👌👌.
Wow!-You shot me right back to '74 riding with my Dad at 10 with 20 tons of news print to Fleet street. Cant believe we slept on a piece of M.d.f.. Across these cabs. The spread axle tandem made a lot of clacking and banging through town full load. Thanks for great Cummins tune.
❤ Omg! Never thought I’d get to see a BigJ 4t running again. It was a joy to watch you in total harmony with this old Guy. Atkinson, Big j’s ERF & AEC were the main big 4 British units I had the pleasure of driving when working for Humber McVeigh’s in the early 80’s. 😊
Fantastic video Mr B. Your atki with the 220 Rolls video is a real reminder for me. I very often sit with my head phones on listening to the rolls puring. My dad used to have an ERF b series wiith a 220 rolls in it. Your video takes me back to very happy times riding with my dad sadly no longer with us. Thank you for the memories. Keep em coming.
@@StephenSheldon-ro6jd that’s what it’s all about. In fact today I watched one of my videos of the rolls atki. Not for anything else but to listen to it and remember. Cheers for your comment
Great video Mr B! Just wanna say I really appreciate these virtual ride alongs on classic lorries. Everytime these Truck Rallys come up I'm always curious as to what you would get your hands on next. Hope more of the lads will give you the opportunity to take their lorries for spin sometime. All the best from Saint Lucia.
Love it, jealous now.. As for what you describe as your attempt to drive it-you certainly know your way through that gearbox. The vids a bit short though, Lands End to John O Groats sounds good!
@@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer I hope you do. And if you do, please include exterior sounds, as in hearing the truck when at the roadside. Love the combination of the Big J with a Cummins. Drove one in the 70's with a King low loader trailer. Nothing beats the bark of a Cummins, IMHO.
Ive seen so many pictures and bits off this on facebook recently, been waiting to see a cool video of it! you can tell you know your way aound the fuller box
The company I worked for, some 45 years ago, purchased 3 Guy six wheel tippers fitted with AEC 505 engines. One of the drivers came into the workshop to complain that these new wagons were terrible. Underpowered, he stated, so much so a pushbike had overtaken him going up hill!
Here in South Africa, SAR. South African Railways used the 335 big time in a lot of their truck fleets mostly International Harvesters. Beautiful simple engines as with the Fuller 9 speed. Would be even better if you fitted Jake brakes!!
I was trained on proper double cluch truck the gear stick was rigid 6 speed hardly any movement its all about road speed to engine revs after little while you dont even think about it,sometimes i change gears in my car no clutch just revs and sound
That's the 14 litre Cummins isn't it? British trucks of that period had drivelines offering pretty high performance, but cab comfort (and crash safety) hardly changed from the 1950s.

Nothing sounds as good as the old mechanical Cummins and CATS both, good driving there brother 🐾✌️🇺🇸
No radio needed. That engine sound is music to the ears
Good to see a driver who can double clutch professionally.

Proper truck, proper sound and a proper gearbox, fantastic 👍
And a proper driver
Great sounding truck ,the old mechanical engines always sound the best,

Brilliant just love listening to that Cummins

Lovely Lorry thanks for The Video.
Hi Mr B. That’s a lovely sound that Guy with the Cummins 335 great video loved it ❤keep them coming 🙂👍🏻💯
Cor.... what a lovely sound to hear on a Friday morning. Thank you.
Well That’s Got To Be The Best Wagon in its Working Clothes in The UK 👍🏻💪🏻🇬🇧, Absolute Legend
It's a beast Richard, what a lorry .
Im glad you have done this one -The Big Js were legends back in the 70s and 80s.
@@octopus680 cracking motor.
I saw this at Gaydon a few weeks ago and was surprised to see it as I still have a copy of Truck & Driver dating from 1990 in which this was featured!

Happy days.
Hope you are keeping well Peter ? Ben Edwards

@@julianlyons711 Cheers.
Brilliant music to my ears
Fantastic job ❤
Wonderful memories of my dad's J4T, his had a Cummins 180 and a David Brown six speed.
@@neilwilliams6716 I am not sure there was that many that were fitted with the 290.

It's good to see a motor like it was when it was in its prime. I'm not a fan of too much bull and polish, I much prefer original.

Lovely that was talking with one of the brothers on the Fleetwood tanker job last year oldskool 💪
Mega that great video thanks for sharing.
Mervin Edwards had some on stock trailer in same colour blue a lad from Berriew use to drive it think his name was Martin
Awesome 👍
nice one
What a truck 💪🏼
Bloody lovely. Is that a big j 8.
Why are we using the clutch pedal?
@@gsd4me00 because I am a rubbish driver and not a pro like yourself.
How did you squeeze a 335 Cummins into that
@@LouisPowell-eq1jo it was done in the factory. They did quite a number of them.

My dad had an old guy cattle lorry cant remember what model but i think it had a David brown gearbox he said it was horrible to drive
are these engines rated at 250hp.
@@POOLEYTONY1 the standard engine is 290. As it is a 14l with a turbo. Then the fuel pump on this one is up rated to 335.
@@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer powerful for a guy. Most were 180. Bet it pulls well.

Is that a David Brown gearbox ?

Brought up on these trucks big, J is for jaguar!
@@grumpystruckshop3807 that’s a new one on me? Cheers
Like I would have again a truck with a manual gearbox .
Click in that 2 Speed diff and they are Rockets Very Similar to the B Series ERF ,
Yep modern Boys or lads can’t drive them
That 2 Speed diff would have you Home Empty in No time ours is a Tow wagon, Chain lift and Still Grafting
Be interesting to see irritating Truck Tim drive it ?
@@alexrobinson2281 I don’t understand why he has not driven something old yet. Unless he has? He has connections with a very well not restorer.
@@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmerGive him an Eaton twin splitter 😂😂
Not your first day jamming gears lol
Doesn't that sound sweet. No need for a radio .
