    Tankfest 2023 Bovington, England

    I did go specifically for Tankfest. Had to take the wife to London and Paris, though. I saw several variants of tracked Alvis’s, but don’t remember an Alvis Stalwart. Doesn’t mean they don’t have one in the restoration building. I was particularly interested in WWII German armor and they...

    my flu419 will not move in any gear

    A year and a half later, still pulling/pushing my 419 around the property to use the backhoe. Pushed clutch in one day with a load of dirt and hasn't moved on its own since. Thought it might be the air shift solenoid, but have to tilt cab for that. Recently read that someone replaced a blown...
