Re: J&R Adams Newcastle .
A question for the "knowledgeable" was the Marathon grille actually a Kysor Rad shutter ? I've often wondered if this was the case . Cheers Bewick.
Re: J&R Adams Newcastle .Hi Dennis, I will consult Adams,s Fleet engineer, Who has worked for them since he left school, Davy James he learned the hard way if I may say so, He worked under the supervision of the late Geordie Thomas, A man of many tallents, He was the fitter at Adams when their depot was at Byker, They then moved to Fisher Street at Walker into a brand new depot with warehousing etc., Regards Larry.
Re: J&R Adams Newcastle .
Think you mean Crusader Dennis. Colin.
Re: J&R Adams Newcastle .
Yes Dennis, the Crusader (a mechanically sound alternative to the Marathon!) had a Kysor rad shutter (and Dynair fan). Lorries of Arabia
Re: J&R Adams Newcastle .
There was NOTHING WRONG with the Marathon driveline mechanically...after all it had your favourite Fuller gearbox, and in your opinion that's all that matters.
Re: J&R Adams Newcastle .
I didn't say there was anything wrong with the Marathon driveline. I have never criticised the Marathon, not having driven one. I would have loved to have driven one. I merely quoted Commercial Motor in stating it was one of Leyland group's sound alternatives. If you gave me the choice of either to drive to Gibraltar and back, I'd probably have to toss a coin! ![]() ![]() Lorries of Arabia

Re: J&R Adams Newcastle .
Interesting ! I had Kysor shutters on the first three Atky's then I decided that the Dynair was the better fitment so the Atkys/ERF's and the single Seddon 32/4 Cu 220 got the Dynairs fitted from new. Cheers Dennis.

Re: J&R Adams Newcastle .Regarding the Kysor Shutters I prefered them, IMO They kept a lot of flys out of the rad, Regards Larry.
