In the description you can go to my instagram. Would like to talk about Belgian Army Loyds.

Our lloyds only had brakes on the🎉 differential ,later models had them front and on the rear idler as well, we had a number of track sections bolted on the front ( no tyre as shown on your machine) I would welcome a mailing address to send my stories. To. Thanks my typing is much faster than texting. Thank you for saving one of our late model Lloyd I would cherish a good photo to frame and hang on my office wall.

@@nickwhalley6753 the 6Pdr anti-tank gun that it towed.

@@infernoking7504 as the driver I don’t like the vibrations on tarmac but the passengers told me it’s not that noticeable

@@loydcarrier2197 really wow im suprised

Luckily my neighbour has an equally loud MGB V8 and the other neighbour is a field of cows who don’t have much to say 🤣

Were you trying to attach a photo? Don’t think that works on CZcams. You can email alastairmcmurray@yahoo.com. Just change the email ending to .co.uk to make the email work.

As far as I know there is only one Loyd in the USA.

@@loydcarrier2197 what about turning a bren gun carrier into one?

@@infernoking7504 there isn’t much from Bren carrier in a Loyd. The basis back in 1939 was a 1938 ford 1.5 ton truck with Bren running gear added.

For the 6Pdr anti tank gun it would have towed

For the 6 Pdr Anti-Tank gun that it would have towed during WW2.

@@loydcarrier2197 thanks

The worst bit is I only had a coffee!

That is WW2 spec, for the 6 Pdr Anti-Tank gun it would have been towing.

Where did you drive them? With CATI in Belgium?

I was in occupation forces in Germany , and could tell a few stories involving Lloyds. A tk Belgian army regiment 1sdt chasseurs ardennais

@@andremaertens5964 I am interested to know when they were driven out to Elsenborn to use for target practice, that is where mine was recovered from to be scrapped when they were cleaning the range. My engine had a 1963 rebuild data plate. If you look on my video ‘drive to the pub’ there is link in the description to my restoration facebook page. I would be interested in your Loyd in service stories.

For the anti-tank gun it would have towed during wartime. 6 Pdr.

I think Lloyd is a more common surname but Cpt Vivian was a Loyd.

Yes, UK regulations do not mandate the material the tracks are made from, just they they are flat and free from damage, you do need rubber tyres on the road wheels along with a ground pressure below the max limit stipulated in the construction and use regulations 1986.

It is a 1940s Ford V8 3.6L, you can see it on other videos on the channel.

I am learning a none synchro gearbox, hopefully I will get better. Steel tracks are not prohibited in the UK.

@@loydcarrier2197 Steel tracks with rubber insert pads are indeed permitted. However, I would be very interested to know what Regulation you believe allows all steel tracks on roads at more than walking pace. The vehicle user/owner is also liable for any damage to the road surface. Or are you basing it on a spurious post from 2014 form someone who "thought under 4 tons was ok" but could not remember the Regulation creating a heresay myth?

@@dukwdriver2909 no, not at all. All the regulations say is that the tracked vehicle must have resilient material between the chassis and the road, thus rubber road wheels count, it doesn’t state that the tracks have to have rubber on the surface contact face. As far as speed goes, you are limited to 20MPH. Those are the UK rules as they stand in 2024.

The tracks are smooth running ,they have no cleats like a tank , this was a handicap on ice and mud they do not damage the roads

@@andremaertens5964 They do when you skid steer.

No, it is the spare wheel for a 6Pdr Anti Tank gun that the Loyd would have pulled in WW2.

Same chassis, I believe. Tracks, too.

Yes the tracks and idlers are the same as the brengun,s
