LIONESS Having A Few Repairs

[taurus MK1]

Here we have a Lioness, spent this morning removing a few broken exhaust studs then refitting manifold/turbo etc. This is a trade in unit which has now been retailed but we carrying out a few jobs before she goes. Quite a rare beast, built approx. 1998 by American Tractors in North Yorks, now running a CAT 3406 engine good in this unit for approx. 530 hp, Allison 6 speed powershift trans, the back end is basically a Ford FW60 and the front end rebuilt to suit CAT engine etc, Steiger cab. The CAT engine was a pleasure to work on this morning Will put some more pics on when outside.


Cheers John

John if you do set the valve lash on the beast 15 inlet and 30 exhaust is a good target, your workshop looks smart as it has a Roof, I struggle to get jobs with this extra.
