thanks riverstick to be honest she drove home like new no rattles in cab at mo she s in a bit of a sorry state pictures to follow cheers martyn.
Good luck with that they are a classic machine, We used to have one as a twinsteer yard shunter when Gregories took over Amesbury Transport the damb EPS gearbox didnt like the shunting duties.
There are still a few running, there was a pail blue livestock wagon on the A303 the other day looked cracking and they had done some cab work on it, Plus i saw a Greek Drawbar unit about 6 months ago, As usual no camera.

A 1735 brings back memories! I loved the engine in the one I drove, really good, bombproof! Will you be putting an under-bumper airdam and cab-top spoiler on it?
The missus in my old motor, 1992 in Switzerland somewhere.
Regards,
Mark.

hopefully i ll find a splitter for the bumper as the one that came with the merc is in a bad way .no air deflector being fitted.as you say the old mercs were bomb proof i used to own a 1633 would have driven her to the moon and back regards martyn.
