It is odd and it has been commented on before that Whitlock had so many models and quite different in layout. Some of their features were potentially very good/up to date.

I am not sure that a 50C was sold in the UK? I think the D was the next model on from the B and the 3303/5 was the predecessor.

A guess, I will admit, but '69 to '80. Any advances?

If you use deep enough channel or weld on a couple of tabs that would protrude beyond/below the rod you could drill a couple of holes to allow a pin or bolt to secure the prop in place. That is how a factory one was made for our old Sanderson.

That's a good turnout of Does in one place.

You could make one (or two) out of suitable channel to drop over the rod to sit against the cylinder cap and pin the other end. Make sure the ends are nicely de burred to avoid scoring the ram. You could drop a cloth over the rod first.

Thanks for posting Jeremy, I hope Richard was not too p!ssed off. I had no idea the slew box was a poor as that. Had it been repaired before? Good job I did not throw any ££ at it. Mind you the JCB has conked this week, hoping it is just a duff lift pump.

For the hoses perhaps get some prices from your local hose specialists. They can take the p*ss a bit sometimes so do some comparisons.

The proper name is Classic & Vintage Commercials.

Can never have enough buckets.
