Although both Oldsmobile and Chevy were owned by General motors, there are no real common parts between the two families of engines - the bellhousing patterns are even different - but crucially, there is enough similarity with the mounting dowels and the 2 lower bolt hole positions that adaptor plates can be used to mate what is known as the B.O.P (Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac) bellhousing pattern with the Chevy bellhousing pattern. James Hunneman has used a Transdapt adaptor plate to mate the Oldsmobile engines with Chevy Gearboxes. Doing this also needs a spigot adaptor and very careful measuring of the flexplate to torque converter spacing and machining of spacer blocks if required.

Stripped to check condition. New rebuild kit purchased. One good engine can be easily assembled from the two engines. Status as of 29th June 2020: Club owns 2 Oldsmobile 455 engines. One, purchased in 2019, installed in X/Skybrid Winch. The other was removed from the Skybrid in April 2019. Bottom end in great condition, heads need rework. Stored, semi-dismantled, as spares. <br /> <br /> [[Pontiac 400]] Status as of Early 2023: Pontiac engine was installed into X winch in early 2021. Worked OK thru to Summer 2022 when issues with cam follower and valve rockers occurred. Engine removed from winch. Heads, bores and bottom end found to be good. Damaged parts replaced, rebuilt with new timing chain and gaskets. New valley pan leaked, so BC got original pressed steel one repaired and installed that. Status as of 29th June 2020: Pontiac 400 engine is being kept as a spare. Could be moved into either winch, but needs a transmission adaptor plate if to be used with a Chevy gearbox. Also would need engine mount and exhaust changes on either winch. Not a particularly valuable engine, so best being kept as a spare for now.<br /> <br /> ==Winch Transmissions==<br /> The winches use the General Motors TH400 3 speed automatic transmission. These have a reputation as a strong, reliable transmission, hence their use by both Tost and Skylaunch in their winches. As mentioned in the Engines section, there are both B.O.P. and Chevy Bellhousing patterns. If any future transmission purchases are made, it's suggested that they should have the Chevy bellhousing, and just use an adaptor plate if it's being mated to an Oldsmobile engine. The transmission are also available with three different lengths of tailshaft housing: 4&quot;, 9&quot; and 13&quot;. As of 2019, the club is standardising on the 4&quot; short tailshaft housing. (A transmission can be converted, but it requires a full stripdown, a new tailshaft housing and a new tailshaft)<br /> <br /> As of 29th June 2020, the club currently has Four TH400 transmissions:<br /> <br /> [[B.O.P Pattern, short tailshaft housing]] Currently dismantled in box in red container. Casing has crack around one dowel hole - could possibly be weld repaired. Originally from X winch/Skybrid winch. Tailshaft housing &amp; possibly output shaft was &quot;borrowed&quot; to be used to convert the ex-bus winch TH400 to short tailshaft spec. <br /> <br /> [[B.O.P. Pattern, short tailshaft, Painted dark red]] *** May 2022 update: Gearbox failed - from memory, it wouldn't shift up into higher gears. Transmission removed from X winch. *** Originally from the Bus /Reserve winch (had 9&quot; tailshaft as do all standard Tost winches). Removed in 2019, rebuilt by Newbury Transmissions February 2020 with short tailshaft &amp; housing.. Currently in Red Container as a spare. Should be fitted to X/Skybrid Winch in Summer 2020 to check correct function.<br /> <br /> [[Chevy Pattern, Deep Sump]] Bought outright from Skylaunch in April 2019. Fitted to X/Skybrid Winch from April 2019 to August 2019 when it was removed so it could be mated to the Chevy 454 engine in the new Y winch by Skylaunch.<br /> <br /> [[Chevy Pattern, £80 ebay special]] Purchased by James Hunneman in Autumn 2019 for a bargain price, complete with Torque Converter. Did have a drum brake on the rear of the unit - this was removed and the tailshaft housing replaced with the correct standard short one. The splined output shaft mates fine with the standard propshaft. ***May 2022 update - This Transmission was installed behind the Pontiac 400 engine in the X winch. Required a custom spacer plate between crank and flexplate (and new bolts) to allow space for a adaptor plate to mate this Chevy pattern transmission with the Pontiac engine pattern. <br /> <br /> Generic Information about TH400s can be found here: [[GM TH400 automatic transmission unit]]<br /> <br /> == Vehicles ==<br /> <br /> [[Toyota Hilux Surf]]<br /> <br /> [[Land Rover Discovery]]<br /> <br /> [[Pajero_Automatic]]<br /> <br /> [[Trooper LWB]]<br /> <br /> [[Trooper]]<br /> <br /> [[Pajero]]<br /> <br /> [[Land Rover]]<br /> <br /> [[Jeep Dark green]]<br /> <br /> [[Jeep Light Green]]<br /> <br /> [[*NEW* LaunchPoint Caravan]]<br /> <br /> == Generators ==<br /> <br /> [[Petter 17KVA Generator]]<br /> <br /> == Maintenance, Tools &amp;amp; Supplies ==<br /> <br /> [[Inventory]]<br /> <br /> [[Hayter mower]]<br /> <br /> [[Lub oil spec]]<br /> <br /> == TRAILERS ==<br /> <br /> Cable Tow-out trailer suffered multiple weld failures 2019-21 due to not being designed for stresses arising from cable towing, compounded by high speed transits from LPV to winch loaded with tyres.

<p>Chair: </p> <hr /> <div>==Summer 2023 update==<br /> * Late summer 2020 the 2nd Oldsmobile engine had a failure. In Early 2021, the Pontiac 400 engine, removed from the old Reserve winch, was installed. (At the same time as the winch was rewired) The Pontiac engine worked OK, a new water pump, divider plate and rubber seals were installed in April 2021.<br /> * May 2022 - The rebuilt TH400 transmission failed again. JH made up a flexplate spacer plate which allowed a converter plate to link the Pontiac bell housing pattern with the Chevy Pattern of the spare TH400 transmission. The spare transmission was installed, and the winch worked OK.<br /> * September 2022 - The Pontiac 400 engine was found to be down on power and a compression check showed no compression on one cylinder. Removing a rocker cover showed 1 loose rocker and one with a pushrod pushed through it. The cylinder heads were removed and the bores found to be in great condition. The engine was taken out of the winch and the sump removed - the bottom end was found to be in good condition too.<br /> * The broken rockers were replaced (and a few others showing signs of wear) and all pushrods replaced. A new timing chain was installed and a new valley pan. (This later was found to leak badly, so BC got the original pressed steel valley pan repaired and installed that.<br /> <br /> ==Background==<br /> <br /> A [http://www.tost-startwinden.de/ Tost] model ?? converted and delivered by [http://www.skylaunchuk.com/ Skylaunch] in March 2008. Cost of essential maintenance was similar to the cost of conversion: mounted on a twin-axle trailer with large, narrow drums, no paying on gear, new roller boxes and the Skylaunch panel.<br /> The winch is powered by an Oldsmobile V8 455 cubic inch (7.5l) capacity engine fueled with Propane gas. More details about the engine here:[[Oldsmobile 455 data]]. The power from the engine is transferred to the drive axle via a [[GM TH400 automatic transmission unit]].<br /> <br /> In early April 2019 the engine and automatic gearbox wore out simultaneously. The engine was replaced with an Oldsmobile 455 which had been rebuilt for, but never used, in a drag racing boat. The failed gearbox was taken for a complete rebuild and to reduce down time a replacement gearbox was purchased from Skylaunch and used temporarily until the original box was returned from the repairer. At the same time an external transmission oil filter and oil cooler were fitted. The repaired gearbox was installed shortly afterwards with a new flex plate and the temporary one placed in storage.<br /> <br /> ==Work Required==<br /> <br /> * Fit missing rear axle bolts<br /> * Check tyre pressures / determine 'correct' tyre pressures. Weight distribution always makes one pair of tyres look flat.<br /> * Replace or repair stop lights.<br /> <br /> NB: re torque half shaft nuts (300 lb/ft) every six months - remember to remove grub screws locking axle nuts before torquing. Failure to do this risks breaking half shafts.<br /> *re torque exhaust manifold bolts as required (else gaskets blow)<br /> *change auto trans oil every six months and filter every year - no auto trans failures have occurred since doing this.<br /> <br /> ==General Maintenance Notes==<br /> <br /> ===Roller box maintenance===<br /> *How to change a roller: [[Media:Roller_replacement.pdf]]<br /> <br /> ===Disc brakes===<br /> *Parts from Hyundai Coupe Reg.no: BP51 TMO<br /> <br /> '''Winch brake drum removal procedure'''<br /> <br /> If necessary a cable drum can be removed without removing the cable, however, note that if this is done the guard rail on the Skybrid drum must be protected.<br /> *Position the winch under the crane with the centreline of the axle under the gantry.<br /> *If air tools are to be used position the gantry crane on level ground within 20 metres of the compressor.<br /> *Loosen the drum retaining bolts, the axle nut and the half shaft end plate retaining nuts.<br /> *Use a suitable rope sling to prepare to lift the drum, take care to avoid damaging guard rails.<br /> *Take the strain and and remove the drum nuts<br /> *Use a pair suitable 10mm bolts to jack off the drum.<br /> *Lift off the drum and tie it to the gantry stanchion. Do not allow full weight of drum to rest on guard rails.<br /> *Remove the half shaft nut<br /> *Removed the half shaft flange retaining nuts.<br /> *Place an oil tray under the flange to catch oil.<br /> *Break the seal between the half shaft flange and the brake drum and slide it outwards.<br /> *Mark the angular position of the flange relative to the half shaft<br /> *Use a sledgehammer and protective aluminium plate to 'break' half shaft taper<br /> *Use a large screwdriver to lift the flange on the bearing retainer, then using a suitable drift unscrew the locking ring<br /> *Remove the bearing retaining ring and keeper plate<br /> *Remove the brake drum<br /> *Note that if the brake back plate is removed that the retaining bolts are drilled straight into an oil reservoir. Be prepared to catch any lost oil.<br /> <br /> NB: The recommended oil level in the differential and dog clutch boxes comes half way up the half shaft tube and floods back into the axle bearings. Consequently the only things that prevents the axle oil from leaking out into the brake drums are the brake drum oil seals (type 125 95 13 TC from Simply Bearings). It is recommended these are replaced whenever a drum is removed. See notes in para below on finding/monitoring ideal oil level.<br /> <br /> The differential oil must be replenished to the dip stick level with 80W/90 gear oil.<br /> <br /> ==Parts replaced / work done==<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> *September 2022 - The Pontiac 400 engine was found to be down on power and a compression check showed no compression on one cylinder. Removing a rocker cover showed 1 loose rocker and one with a pushrod pushed through it. The cylinder heads were removed and the bores found to be in great condition. The engine was taken out of the winch and the sump removed - the bottom end was found to be in good condition too.<br /> * The broken rockers were replaced (and a few others showing signs of wear) and all pushrods replaced. A new timing chain was installed and a new valley pan. (This later was found to leak badly, so BC got the original pressed steel valley pan repaired and installed that.<br /> <br /> * May 2022 - The rebuilt TH400 transmission failed again. JH made up a flexplate spacer plate which allowed a converter plate to link the Pontiac bell housing pattern with the Chevy Pattern of the spare TH400 transmission. The spare transmission was installed, and the winch worked OK.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===September 2021===<br /> *Annual maintenance completed. Engine coolant changed from blue to red 30%. The crankshaft damper had collapsed causing damage to the fan belt. Radiator removed and damper replaced. Alternator fitted with correct pulley to match fan belt profile. Axle oil drained and found to contain grey sludge - needs changing every two years (axle takes 3 litres of EP80-90). CB/RP/JH NB:Engine &amp; transmission oil and filters were not changed as they were reported to have been done in the Spring.<br /> <br /> * Late summer 2020 the 2nd Oldsmobile engine had a failure. In Early 2021, the Pontiac 400 engine, removed from the old Reserve winch, was installed. (At the same time as the winch was rewired) The Pontiac engine worked OK, a new water pump, divider plate and rubber seals were installed in April 2021.<br /> <br /> ===26th Feb 2020===<br /> *Righthand cable drum brake master cylinder replaced due to old one seized. RP<br /> <br /> ===15th Oct 2019===<br /> *Dismantled, cleaned and reassembled guillotines. Cable cutting test satisfactory with two strands per Skylaunch recommendation. Engine and transmission oil still clean after recent rebuild - change all oils and filters in Spring 2020. Air filter OK. Oil leak on transmission drain plug fixed with PTFE tape. Axle nuts re-torqued. Emergency bolt cutters hung on cab door. CB &amp; RP<br /> *Cab recently part lined with anti-drum foam. MS<br /> <br /> ===Sept/Oct 2019===<br /> *New 4-branch exhaust manifolds fitted and pipes reworked to suit. Wiring to starter rejigged. JH<br /> <br /> ===May 2019===<br /> *Expired OLDS 455 engine stripped. Hole in inlet manifold. New valve seats required. Valves serviceable. Bores and bottom end to be inspected. Possibly able to build a short engine?<br /> <br /> ===20th May 2019===<br /> *New gas vaporiser fitted (old one had damaged internal seal and leaking water)<br /> <br /> ===8th May 2019===<br /> *1500m new cable fitted to LH drum. 1200m new cable fitted to RH drum. SH plus various helpers.<br /> *Monthly guillotine check done. RP, MS<br /> <br /> ===Period 17th - 30th April===<br /> *JH obtained reconditioned TH400 transmission from Skylaunch and fitted it with various help. Opportunity arose to fit transmission oil pressure gauge for diagnostic purposes (oil pressure relates to carburettor vacuum and controlled by adjustable vacuum operated spool valve. Flex plate found to be cracked, so to keep operational a non-matching replacement was fitted with incorrect crankshaft hole pattern. Later discovered insufficient flex plate clearance due to different bell housing dimensions. Original trans to be refitted with correct flex plate asap.<br /> <br /> ===May 2019===<br /> *Engine stripped. Valves serviceable, seats need replacing. Inlet manifold needs repair to leak. Bores not checked. Bottom end needs inspection. Possibly rebuild as short engine?<br /> <br /> ===17th Apr 2019===<br /> *Gearbox removed to be taken to Newbury Transmissions. JH,CB,WC,RP Later found to require replacement casing and total rebuild.<br /> <br /> ===16th Apr 2019===<br /> *Oil change and filter. New air filter. Small bits of metal found in transmission sump pan. Gearbox declared unfit for launching. CB &amp; RP<br /> <br /> ===2nd/3rd April 2019===<br /> *Engine expired over the previous weekend due to a hole in the inlet manifold. Recently purchased conditioned engine fitted. JH,WC. Test launching successful on 7th April.<br /> <br /> ===17th November 2018===<br /> * Auto engagement lever wrenched back beyond gate displacing ignition inhibitor reed switch. Mechanism stripped, repaired and readjusted. CB,JW &amp; WC<br /> <br /> ===31st October 2018===<br /> *Removed and sharpened blades on RHS guillotine. LHS done since 5th Oct. Both guillotines now fully serviceable. CB &amp; RP<br /> *Transmission oil changed. RP<br /> <br /> ===5th October 2018===<br /> *Engine/transmission area cleaned and de-greased.<br /> *Engine oil and filter changed.<br /> *Transmission oil changed - (filter only three months old)<br /> *Annual guillotine service/check. On reassembling, unable to get perfect cut. CB to sharpen/reset blades and obtain spare ones. <br /> *Main half shaft nuts checked for tightness. RP &amp; CB<br /> <br /> ===3rd August 2018===<br /> *Replaced worn brake pads on RH cable drum. Sealed/bodged blowing RH exhaust manifold gasket. RP<br /> <br /> ===Late July?===<br /> *Variable fan controller fitted by JW - see [[Media:0444_fan_switch1.pdf‎‎]]<br /> <br /> ===18th July 2018===<br /> *10A fan circuit breaker keeps tripping - replaced with 15A breaker.<br /> <br /> ===4th July 2018===<br /> *New transmission radiator fitted. Transmission oil and filter changed. JH, RP<br /> <br /> ===19th June 2018===<br /> *Battery stolen. Replaced with new one. CB &amp; RP.<br /> <br /> ===12th June 2018===<br /> *Replaced RH exhaust manifold gasket. Found that small sealing plate on top of intake manifold (under the air filter) was blowing again through some small holes which were than covered with sealant. This turned out to be main source of noise. RP<br /> <br /> ===10th May 2018===<br /> *Following brief failure of starter, this was replaced with a reconditioned unit. RP &amp; JH.<br /> <br /> ===14th April 2018===<br /> *Changed engine oil and filter. RP<br /> *Changed transmission oil only. RP <br /> *Fitted new transmission oil cooler thermostat. RP &amp; MS<br /> <br /> ===11th Oct '17===<br /> *Changed engine oil and filter. New air filter.<br /> *Changed transmission oil and new filter fitted.<br /> *Carried out annual guillotine checks. Full strip down. RP, CB and SO.<br /> *Some coolant drained and topped up with neat antifreeze.<br /> *Main halfshaft nuts tightened.<br /> <br /> === Sept 2017===<br /> *Both cables replaced. 1500m each. RP plus various willing helpers.<br /> *Transmission engagement problem solved by adjustment of detent.<br /> <br /> ===9th Sept 2017===<br /> Transmission was jumping to 'Drive' uncommanded due to engine vibration. Push rod shortened but requires further adjustment.<br /> N.B. Ineffective transmission-end 'detent' requires freeing and adjustment. Alan S<br /> ===7th Sept 2017===<br /> *Replaced blown exhaust manifold gasket (LHS) with white and metal lined gaskets plus small amount of gungum. Filled eroded parts on block and manifold with liquid steel. RP<br /> <br /> ===1st Sept 3017===<br /> *Problem with replacement starter as below with solenoid jamming. Replaced by James H temporarily with starter from reserve winch.<br /> <br /> ===25th Aug 2017===<br /> *Replaced faulty starter motor with recon motor supplied by James H. RP, KH &amp; CB<br /> <br /> ===13th April 2017===<br /> *Changed engine oil and filter<br /> *Changed transmission oil only<br /> *Replaced spark plugs<br /> *Identified fairly severe air or exhaust leak from under small eroded blanking plate just to RHS of carburettor. Liberal amount of Gungum applied which has sealed it for the timebeing. Engine runs considerably quieter. <br /> *Checked tightness of cable drum nuts - OK. CB &amp; RP<br /> <br /> ===17th March 2017===<br /> *Annual guillotine check - LHS failed initially but passed following second strip-down and reassembling. CB, PB, M SELBY, RP<br /> <br /> ===22 Feb 2017===<br /> *Leaking radiator beyond Repair. Completely refurbished by Berkshire Radiators, 266 Gosbrook Road, Caversham, RG4 8EA 0118 947 3501, with 2 X larger core and 1 year guarantee. Fitted with new fan switch and leak tested by CB, KH, AS &amp; DG.<br /> *Intermittant starting problem solved by fitting additional engine earth connection.<br /> <br /> ===25 Jan2017===<br /> *Further attempt to improve joint between RHS exhaust manifold and pipe by packing with piece of bean can and more gungum.<br /> <br /> ===11 Jan 2017===<br /> * Replace RHS exhaust manifold. This did not seal fully against the head - rear port on head found to be corroded so GunGum used to seal as best as possible. Different connection to exhaust pipe. Liberal use of GunGum to facilitate a connection. <br /> <br /> ===4th Oct 2016===<br /> *Remove RHS exhaust manifold. Surfaces found to be extensively pitted.

<p>Chair: </p> <hr /> <div>==Summer 2023 update==<br /> * Late summer 2020 the 2nd Oldsmobile engine had a failure. In Early 2021, the Pontiac 400 engine, removed from the old Reserve winch, was installed. (At the same time as the winch was rewired) The Pontiac engine worked OK, a new water pump, divider plate and rubber seals were installed in April 2021.<br /> * May 2022 - The rebuilt TH400 transmission failed again. JH made up a flexplate spacer plate which allowed a converter plate to link the Pontiac bell housing pattern with the Chevy Pattern of the spare TH400 transmission. The spare transmission was installed, and the winch worked OK.<br /> * September 2022 - The Pontiac 400 engine was found to be down on power and a compression check showed no compression on one cylinder. Removing a rocker cover showed 1 loose rocker and one with a pushrod pushed through it. The cylinder heads were removed and the bores found to be in great condition. The engine was taken out of the winch and the sump removed - the bottom end was found to be in good condition too.<br /> * The broken rockers were replaced (and a few others showing signs of wear) and all pushrods replaced. A new timing chain was installed and a new valley pan. (This later was found to leak badly, so BC got the original pressed steel valley pan repaired and installed that.<br /> <br /> ==Background==<br /> <br /> A [http://www.tost-startwinden.de/ Tost] model ?? converted and delivered by [http://www.skylaunchuk.com/ Skylaunch] in March 2008. Cost of essential maintenance was similar to the cost of conversion: mounted on a twin-axle trailer with large, narrow drums, no paying on gear, new roller boxes and the Skylaunch panel.<br /> The winch is powered by an Oldsmobile V8 455 cubic inch (7.5l) capacity engine fueled with Propane gas. More details about the engine here:[[Oldsmobile 455 data]]. The power from the engine is transferred to the drive axle via a [[GM TH400 automatic transmission unit]].<br /> <br /> In early April 2019 the engine and automatic gearbox wore out simultaneously. The engine was replaced with an Oldsmobile 455 which had been rebuilt for, but never used, in a drag racing boat. The failed gearbox was taken for a complete rebuild and to reduce down time a replacement gearbox was purchased from Skylaunch and used temporarily until the original box was returned from the repairer. At the same time an external transmission oil filter and oil cooler were fitted. The repaired gearbox was installed shortly afterwards with a new flex plate and the temporary one placed in storage.<br /> <br /> ==Work Required==<br /> <br /> * Fit missing rear axle bolts<br /> * Check tyre pressures / determine 'correct' tyre pressures. Weight distribution always makes one pair of tyres look flat.<br /> * Replace or repair stop lights.<br /> <br /> NB: re torque half shaft nuts (300 lb/ft) every six months - remember to remove grub screws locking axle nuts before torquing. Failure to do this risks breaking half shafts.<br /> *re torque exhaust manifold bolts as required (else gaskets blow)<br /> *change auto trans oil every six months and filter every year - no auto trans failures have occurred since doing this.<br /> <br /> ==General Maintenance Notes==<br /> <br /> ===Roller box maintenance===<br /> *How to change a roller: [[Media:Roller_replacement.pdf]]<br /> <br /> ===Disc brakes===<br /> *Parts from Hyundai Coupe Reg.no: BP51 TMO<br /> <br /> '''Winch brake drum removal procedure'''<br /> <br /> If necessary a cable drum can be removed without removing the cable, however, note that if this is done the guard rail on the Skybrid drum must be protected.<br /> *Position the winch under the crane with the centreline of the axle under the gantry.<br /> *If air tools are to be used position the gantry crane on level ground within 20 metres of the compressor.<br /> *Loosen the drum retaining bolts, the axle nut and the half shaft end plate retaining nuts.<br /> *Use a suitable rope sling to prepare to lift the drum, take care to avoid damaging guard rails.<br /> *Take the strain and and remove the drum nuts<br /> *Use a pair suitable 10mm bolts to jack off the drum.<br /> *Lift off the drum and tie it to the gantry stanchion. Do not allow full weight of drum to rest on guard rails.<br /> *Remove the half shaft nut<br /> *Removed the half shaft flange retaining nuts.<br /> *Place an oil tray under the flange to catch oil.<br /> *Break the seal between the half shaft flange and the brake drum and slide it outwards.<br /> *Mark the angular position of the flange relative to the half shaft<br /> *Use a sledgehammer and protective aluminium plate to 'break' half shaft taper<br /> *Use a large screwdriver to lift the flange on the bearing retainer, then using a suitable drift unscrew the locking ring<br /> *Remove the bearing retaining ring and keeper plate<br /> *Remove the brake drum<br /> *Note that if the brake back plate is removed that the retaining bolts are drilled straight into an oil reservoir. Be prepared to catch any lost oil.<br /> <br /> NB: The recommended oil level in the differential and dog clutch boxes comes half way up the half shaft tube and floods back into the axle bearings. Consequently the only things that prevents the axle oil from leaking out into the brake drums are the brake drum oil seals (type 125 95 13 TC from Simply Bearings). It is recommended these are replaced whenever a drum is removed. See notes in para below on finding/monitoring ideal oil level.<br /> <br /> The differential oil must be replenished to the dip stick level with 80W/90 gear oil.<br /> <br /> ==Parts replaced / work done==ber<br /> <br /> ===September 2021===<br /> *Annual maintenance completed. Engine coolant changed from blue to red 30%. The crankshaft damper had collapsed causing damage to the fan belt. Radiator removed and damper replaced. Alternator fitted with correct pulley to match fan belt profile. Axle oil drained and found to contain grey sludge - needs changing every two years (axle takes 3 litres of EP80-90). CB/RP/JH NB:Engine &amp; transmission oil and filters were not changed as they were reported to have been done in the Spring.<br /> <br /> ===26th Feb 2020===<br /> *Righthand cable drum brake master cylinder replaced due to old one seized. RP<br /> <br /> ===15th Oct 2019===<br /> *Dismantled, cleaned and reassembled guillotines. Cable cutting test satisfactory with two strands per Skylaunch recommendation. Engine and transmission oil still clean after recent rebuild - change all oils and filters in Spring 2020. Air filter OK. Oil leak on transmission drain plug fixed with PTFE tape. Axle nuts re-torqued. Emergency bolt cutters hung on cab door. CB &amp; RP<br /> *Cab recently part lined with anti-drum foam. MS<br /> <br /> ===Sept/Oct 2019===<br /> *New 4-branch exhaust manifolds fitted and pipes reworked to suit. Wiring to starter rejigged. JH<br /> <br /> ===May 2019===<br /> *Expired OLDS 455 engine stripped. Hole in inlet manifold. New valve seats required. Valves serviceable. Bores and bottom end to be inspected. Possibly able to build a short engine?<br /> <br /> ===20th May 2019===<br /> *New gas vaporiser fitted (old one had damaged internal seal and leaking water)<br /> <br /> ===8th May 2019===<br /> *1500m new cable fitted to LH drum. 1200m new cable fitted to RH drum. SH plus various helpers.<br /> *Monthly guillotine check done. RP, MS<br /> <br /> ===Period 17th - 30th April===<br /> *JH obtained reconditioned TH400 transmission from Skylaunch and fitted it with various help. Opportunity arose to fit transmission oil pressure gauge for diagnostic purposes (oil pressure relates to carburettor vacuum and controlled by adjustable vacuum operated spool valve. Flex plate found to be cracked, so to keep operational a non-matching replacement was fitted with incorrect crankshaft hole pattern. Later discovered insufficient flex plate clearance due to different bell housing dimensions. Original trans to be refitted with correct flex plate asap.<br /> <br /> ===May 2019===<br /> *Engine stripped. Valves serviceable, seats need replacing. Inlet manifold needs repair to leak. Bores not checked. Bottom end needs inspection. Possibly rebuild as short engine?<br /> <br /> ===17th Apr 2019===<br /> *Gearbox removed to be taken to Newbury Transmissions. JH,CB,WC,RP Later found to require replacement casing and total rebuild.<br /> <br /> ===16th Apr 2019===<br /> *Oil change and filter. New air filter. Small bits of metal found in transmission sump pan. Gearbox declared unfit for launching. CB &amp; RP<br /> <br /> ===2nd/3rd April 2019===<br /> *Engine expired over the previous weekend due to a hole in the inlet manifold. Recently purchased conditioned engine fitted. JH,WC. Test launching successful on 7th April.<br /> <br /> ===17th November 2018===<br /> * Auto engagement lever wrenched back beyond gate displacing ignition inhibitor reed switch. Mechanism stripped, repaired and readjusted. CB,JW &amp; WC<br /> <br /> ===31st October 2018===<br /> *Removed and sharpened blades on RHS guillotine. LHS done since 5th Oct. Both guillotines now fully serviceable. CB &amp; RP<br /> *Transmission oil changed. RP<br /> <br /> ===5th October 2018===<br /> *Engine/transmission area cleaned and de-greased.<br /> *Engine oil and filter changed.<br /> *Transmission oil changed - (filter only three months old)<br /> *Annual guillotine service/check. On reassembling, unable to get perfect cut. CB to sharpen/reset blades and obtain spare ones. <br /> *Main half shaft nuts checked for tightness. RP &amp; CB<br /> <br /> ===3rd August 2018===<br /> *Replaced worn brake pads on RH cable drum. Sealed/bodged blowing RH exhaust manifold gasket. RP<br /> <br /> ===Late July?===<br /> *Variable fan controller fitted by JW - see [[Media:0444_fan_switch1.pdf‎‎]]<br /> <br /> ===18th July 2018===<br /> *10A fan circuit breaker keeps tripping - replaced with 15A breaker.<br /> <br /> ===4th July 2018===<br /> *New transmission radiator fitted. Transmission oil and filter changed. JH, RP<br /> <br /> ===19th June 2018===<br /> *Battery stolen. Replaced with new one. CB &amp; RP.<br /> <br /> ===12th June 2018===<br /> *Replaced RH exhaust manifold gasket. Found that small sealing plate on top of intake manifold (under the air filter) was blowing again through some small holes which were than covered with sealant. This turned out to be main source of noise. RP<br /> <br /> ===10th May 2018===<br /> *Following brief failure of starter, this was replaced with a reconditioned unit. RP &amp; JH.<br /> <br /> ===14th April 2018===<br /> *Changed engine oil and filter. RP<br /> *Changed transmission oil only. RP <br /> *Fitted new transmission oil cooler thermostat. RP &amp; MS<br /> <br /> ===11th Oct '17===<br /> *Changed engine oil and filter. New air filter.<br /> *Changed transmission oil and new filter fitted.<br /> *Carried out annual guillotine checks. Full strip down. RP, CB and SO.<br /> *Some coolant drained and topped up with neat antifreeze.<br /> *Main halfshaft nuts tightened.<br /> <br /> === Sept 2017===<br /> *Both cables replaced. 1500m each. RP plus various willing helpers.<br /> *Transmission engagement problem solved by adjustment of detent.<br /> <br /> ===9th Sept 2017===<br /> Transmission was jumping to 'Drive' uncommanded due to engine vibration. Push rod shortened but requires further adjustment.<br /> N.B. Ineffective transmission-end 'detent' requires freeing and adjustment. Alan S<br /> ===7th Sept 2017===<br /> *Replaced blown exhaust manifold gasket (LHS) with white and metal lined gaskets plus small amount of gungum. Filled eroded parts on block and manifold with liquid steel. RP<br /> <br /> ===1st Sept 3017===<br /> *Problem with replacement starter as below with solenoid jamming.

Liberal amount of Gungum applied which has sealed it for the timebeing. Engine runs considerably quieter. <br /> *Checked tightness of cable drum nuts - OK. CB &amp; RP<br /> <br /> ===17th March 2017===<br /> *Annual guillotine check - LHS failed initially but passed following second strip-down and reassembling. CB, PB, M SELBY, RP<br /> <br /> ===22 Feb 2017===<br /> *Leaking radiator beyond Repair. Completely refurbished by Berkshire Radiators, 266 Gosbrook Road, Caversham, RG4 8EA 0118 947 3501, with 2 X larger core and 1 year guarantee.

(This later was found to leak badly, so BC got the original pressed steel valley pan repaired and installed that.<br /> <br /> <br /> A [http://www.tost-startwinden.de/ Tost] model ?? converted and delivered by [http://www.skylaunchuk.com/ Skylaunch] in March 2008. Cost of essential maintenance was similar to the cost of conversion: mounted on a twin-axle trailer with large, narrow drums, no paying on gear, new roller boxes and the Skylaunch panel.<br /> The winch is powered by an Oldsmobile V8 455 cubic inch (7.5l) capacity engine fueled with Propane gas. More details about the engine here:[[Oldsmobile 455 data]]. The power from the engine is transferred to the drive axle via a [[GM TH400 automatic transmission unit]].<br /> <br /> In early April 2019 the engine and automatic gearbox wore out simultaneously. The engine was replaced with an Oldsmobile 455 which had been rebuilt for, but never used, in a drag racing boat. The failed gearbox was taken for a complete rebuild and to reduce down time a replacement gearbox was purchased from Skylaunch and used temporarily until the original box was returned from the repairer. At the same time an external transmission oil filter and oil cooler were fitted. The repaired gearbox was installed shortly afterwards with a new flex plate and the temporary one placed in storage.<br /> <br /> ==Work Required==<br /> <br /> * Fit missing rear axle bolts<br /> * Check tyre pressures / determine 'correct' tyre pressures. Weight distribution always makes one pair of tyres look flat.<br /> * Replace or repair stop lights.<br /> <br /> NB: re torque half shaft nuts (300 lb/ft) every six months - remember to remove grub screws locking axle nuts before torquing. Failure to do this risks breaking half shafts.<br /> *re torque exhaust manifold bolts as required (else gaskets blow)<br /> *change auto trans oil every six months and filter every year - no auto trans failures have occurred since doing this.<br /> <br /> ==General Maintenance Notes==<br /> <br /> ===Roller box maintenance===<br /> *How to change a roller: [[Media:Roller_replacement.pdf]]<br /> <br /> ===Disc brakes===<br /> *Parts from Hyundai Coupe Reg.no: BP51 TMO<br /> <br /> '''Winch brake drum removal procedure'''<br /> <br /> If necessary a cable drum can be removed without removing the cable, however, note that if this is done the guard rail on the Skybrid drum must be protected.<br /> *Position the winch under the crane with the centreline of the axle under the gantry.<br /> *If air tools are to be used position the gantry crane on level ground within 20 metres of the compressor.<br /> *Loosen the drum retaining bolts, the axle nut and the half shaft end plate retaining nuts.<br /> *Use a suitable rope sling to prepare to lift the drum, take care to avoid damaging guard rails.<br /> *Take the strain and and remove the drum nuts<br /> *Use a pair suitable 10mm bolts to jack off the drum.<br /> *Lift off the drum and tie it to the gantry stanchion. Do not allow full weight of drum to rest on guard rails.<br /> *Remove the half shaft nut<br /> *Removed the half shaft flange retaining nuts.<br /> *Place an oil tray under the flange to catch oil.<br /> *Break the seal between the half shaft flange and the brake drum and slide it outwards.<br /> *Mark the angular position of the flange relative to the half shaft<br /> *Use a sledgehammer and protective aluminium plate to 'break' half shaft taper<br /> *Use a large screwdriver to lift the flange on the bearing retainer, then using a suitable drift unscrew the locking ring<br /> *Remove the bearing retaining ring and keeper plate<br /> *Remove the brake drum<br /> *Note that if the brake back plate is removed that the retaining bolts are drilled straight into an oil reservoir. Be prepared to catch any lost oil.<br /> <br /> NB: The recommended oil level in the differential and dog clutch boxes comes half way up the half shaft tube and floods back into the axle bearings. Consequently the only things that prevents the axle oil from leaking out into the brake drums are the brake drum oil seals (type 125 95 13 TC from Simply Bearings). It is recommended these are replaced whenever a drum is removed. See notes in para below on finding/monitoring ideal oil level.<br /> <br /> The differential oil must be replenished to the dip stick level with 80W/90 gear oil.<br /> <br /> ==Parts replaced / work done==ber<br /> <br /> ===September 2021===<br /> *Annual maintenance completed. Engine coolant changed from blue to red 30%. The crankshaft damper had collapsed causing damage to the fan belt. Radiator removed and damper replaced. Alternator fitted with correct pulley to match fan belt profile. Axle oil drained and found to contain grey sludge - needs changing every two years (axle takes 3 litres of EP80-90). CB/RP/JH NB:Engine &amp; transmission oil and filters were not changed as they were reported to have been done in the Spring.<br /> <br /> ===26th Feb 2020===<br /> *Righthand cable drum brake master cylinder replaced due to old one seized.

Opportunity arose to fit transmission oil pressure gauge for diagnostic purposes (oil pressure relates to carburettor vacuum and controlled by adjustable vacuum operated spool valve. Flex plate found to be cracked, so to keep operational a non-matching replacement was fitted with incorrect crankshaft hole pattern. Later discovered insufficient flex plate clearance due to different bell housing dimensions. Original trans to be refitted with correct flex plate asap.<br /> <br /> ===May 2019===<br /> *Engine stripped. Valves serviceable, seats need replacing. Inlet manifold needs repair to leak. Bores not checked. Bottom end needs inspection. Possibly rebuild as short engine?<br /> <br /> ===17th Apr 2019===<br /> *Gearbox removed to be taken to Newbury Transmissions.

This did not seal fully against the head - rear port on head found to be corroded so GunGum used to seal as best as possible. Different connection to exhaust pipe. Liberal use of GunGum to facilitate a connection. <br /> <br /> ===4th Oct 2016===<br /> *Remove RHS exhaust manifold. Surfaces found to be extensively pitted. Resorted to cleaning up as best as possible then applying exhaust cement and refitting with new gasket. RP<br /> <br /> ===30 Sept 2016===<br /> *Transmission oil and filter changed. RP &amp; M selby<br /> ===16 Sept 2016===<br /> *Engine oil and filter changed. RP &amp; M Selby<br /> <br /> ===5 Sept 2016===<br /> * Tightened half shaft nuts - LHS little or no movement. RHS v slightly slack taking approx 1/8th of a turn. RP<br /> <br /> ===June 2016 - New Cables Fitted===<br /> * 1200m each side plus extensions using existing (~100m) barely worn cable on LHS and approx 50m unused cable on RHS. RP &amp; A Saunders<br /> <br /> ===2015? - Disk Brakes===<br /> *Rod Harris converted both drums to disk brake operation, using parts from Hyundai Coupe BP51TMO<br /> <br /> ===August 2015===<br /> <br /> *Changed engine oil and filter, changed transmission oil and filter, changed air filter, repaired exhaust leak from blanked off port, diff oil level OK, tightened half shaft nuts to spec.<br /> <br /> ===July 2015===<br /> <br /> *Rear right hand vertical roller in right hand roller box cut half way through to retaining bolt during launch. Roller, compression tube, M12 bolt and bearings replaced. NB: roller was not seized, so no evident cause.<br /> <br /> *New cables fitted.<br /> <br /> *Leak from radiator filler re-soldered.<br /> <br /> *Radiator fan switch inoperative and shorting to earth, replaced with thermistor bonded to header tank (80deg on 65 deg off +-5deg). Temporary manual switch fitted, 10A circuit breaker replaced, fan rewired.<br /> <br /> *Plastic container fitted to catch overflow from selector boxes.<br /> <br /> ===Jan/Feb 2015===<br /> <br /> *Following a catastrophic failure of the differential on the Reserve Winch it was found that the Skybrid winch differential had run dry and had sustained serious damage to the pinion teeth its bearing. A rebuilt differential was purchased from Skylaunch and all 'inaccessible' bearings replaced. New half shaft bearings and dog clutch cap screws were also fitted. New hub oil seals were fitted and the differential was refilled with EP80W/90 gear oil.<br /> *NB: On fitting the new differential it was found that the half shaft splines of the damaged axle did not match those in the replacement differential. However, by good fortune the half shafts from the Reserve Winch were found to be the correct type, so these were cannibalised.<br /> <br /> *On reassembly it was found that the left hand selector lever detent did not work, meaning that the dog clutch could accidentally become disengaged. This was fixed using a pair of adapted cap headed screws.<br /> <br /> *Skylaunch advised that the hub bearings should be lubricated with axle oil at the same level as the differential. However, when new hub seals were fitted it could not be ascertained that they were making a very effective seal. Following a discussion with the Skylaunch engineer who rebuilt the differential it was agreed to set the oil level below the lip of the diff half shaft tunnel and top up the selector boxes to the level of the filler holes. Consequently a lower oil level marker was set on the dip stick.<br /> <br /> *NB: as at 1/3/15 oil is still spilling into the selector boxes, so the oil level is indeterminate and we are using an adjustable dip stick. The plan is to keep draining oil from the selector box filler holes until the oil level stabilises (if it ever does). If it doesn't then we'll have to keep draining the selector boxes and topping up the diff.<br /> <br /> * If all goes well it is recommended that the differential oil level be checked at the same time as monthly guillotine checks.<br /> *Engine oil was changed, but not auto transmission oil and filter.<br /> <br /> ===December 2014===<br /> <br /> *Replaced worn out right hand brake shoe and adjusted mechanism.<br /> <br /> ===November 2014===<br /> <br /> *Replaced worn out left hand brake shoe and adjusted mechanism<br /> *Re welded broken cable deflector<br /> *Topped up dog clutch gearboxes and greased u/js<br /> <br /> ===October 2014===<br /> <br /> * Changed oil and filter<br /> * Changed transmission oil<br /> * Torqued axle nuts<br /> * Fitted new air filter<br /> <br /> ===March 2014===<br /> *Flushed engine and changed oil and filter<br /> *Changed auto trans oil and filter<br /> *Torqued axle nuts<br /> <br /> *Annual guillotine check found assister springs out of balance and causing blade to bind. Adjusted spring tensions to 'twang' equally. Guillotines stripped, cleaned and lubricated.<br /> <br /> *Replaced exhaust blanking stub with fabricated part<br /> <br /> *Fitted new floor to winch cab<br /> *Fitted chains to release brake levers<br /> <br /> ===February 2014===<br /> * Fixed exhaust leak from LH exhaust manifold.

<p>Chair: /* Summer 2023: Annual service to schedule */</p> <hr /> <div>==Introduction==<br /> The Y winch is based on the chassis of a Tost 04 model winch. This had been purchased from the RAFGSA, mounted on the back of a bus chassis. For history, and details of the trailer chassis build, LPG system, etc, see the old page which detailed the work done [[Reserve Winch]] This winch suffered a catastrophic axle failure in late 2014. Since then some club members had spent a lot of time rebuilding the winch to use the large diameter Skylaunch drums, and made a full cab, etc. After failures with the club's other winch, it was decided that this winch needed to be finished ASAP - hence was sent to Skylaunch for them to finish the work in Autumn 2019. It was received back at Rivar Hill and commissioned in January 2020. <br /> <br /> ==Work Done By Skylaunch - Aug-Dec 2019==<br /> * Made new engine &amp; transmission mounts to correctly install club-supplied Chevy 454 engine &amp; TH400 short tailshaft transmission.<br /> * Fabricate and powdercoated a second cable drum. Supplied a second roller box and fabricated mounts for this<br /> * Finished fabricating drum covers and fabricated additional guards, cables guides, substantial mudguards, etc<br /> * Added window frames to the cab structure, added steel sheeting, door latches, battery mounts, vent windows, glazed the cab, etc.<br /> * Created drum-stop system to prevent cable run-off when each side's drum is engaged. <br /> * Installed their Throttle Stop Control Panel system with hydraulic brake levers, etc.<br /> * Installed club-supplied starter motor, supplied Alternator, wired this all in to the engine, etc.<br /> * Fitted new HT lead set, new Distributor Cap (large HEI type), Rotor Arm.<br /> * Had the propshaft rebuilt. Supplied and modified to fit Skylaunch style exhaust manifold/silencer systems.<br /> * Water radiator was modified and pressure tested. Mechanical fan added to front of engine, replacement short Chevy water pump installed, electric fan added to front of radiator. Thermostatic switch added into top hose. 180 deg F high-flow thermostat fitted to engine. <br /> * Fitted used but good condition oil cooler and fan assembly and new hoses.<br /> * Engineered new single lever system to operate the cable guillotines.<br /> * Supplied &amp; installed used but good condition 425 gas carburettor, Impco evaporator and solenoid.<br /> * etc, etc...<br /> ** It was agreed that to keep costs down, the club would organise things like fitting the radio and aerials, and painting things like the mudguards, wire mesh guarding, etc.<br /> <br /> ==Safety Interlocks==<br /> * Safety lock on the guillotine lever. This is to stop the guillotines being fired accidentally, or as the winch is moved around the airfield. Ensure the lock lever is slid out of the way before the day's launches commence.<br /> * There's a microswitch fitted to the transmission drive engage lever - this is to stop the winch from being started with the transmission in gear. If the drive lever is in &quot;Drive&quot; it prevents electrical current getting to the starter motor.<br /> * Due to an incident in Summer 2019, the Committee decided to ask Skylaunch to fit an interlock set of switches on the drum engage levers - this further stops the winch from being started with either cable drum engaged.<br /> * There's a mechanical interlock which prevents both cable drums being engaged at the same time.<br /> * There's a warning buzzer which comes on IF a microswitch senses that the brake lever is &quot;ON&quot; AND the Drive lever is engaged. If this buzzer sounds when the drive lever is engaged, just check a) the brake weight has been removed, and b) if so, just push gently forward on the brake lever. this should stop the buzzer sounding. This needs some gentle adjustment of the microswitch position. <br /> * Finally, there's a &quot;low charging voltage&quot; warning buzzer - if the engine is running and the voltage falls below a set amount this buzzer goes off. If this happens, just raise the revs of the engine a little with the throttle lever. This usually stops the buzzer, even when the revs reduce to idle.<br /> <br /> ==Specifications==<br /> <br /> *Engine Chevy 454 Big block - see separate page for details<br /> * Fanbelt Spec: XPA 1250<br /> * Engine coolant: Uses the Red coolant - has better anti-corrosion properties than the old blue type. Do not mix blue and red coolants!<br /> * Engine Oil Filter: FRAM PH5 ( See here for others: https://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/convert/Fram/PH5 )<br /> <br /> * LPG tank: A new tank and fittings was installed in 2012. The same make and type as fitted to the Skylaunch, obtained from a very helpful company called TinleyTech https://tinleytech.co.uk/ +44 (0)1767 676181. The tank used is a 4-hole Cylinder Tank 360x892mm 80 litre capacity. Remote ACME-JIC filler.<br /> <br /> *Transmission: Chevy bellhousing, short (4&quot;) tailshaft. Purchased by club from Skylaunch in April 2019 for use in the Skybrid/ X winch. Was used in that from April 2019 to August 2019.<br /> <br /> *Blue Powdercoat / paint: RAL5002 (Ultramarine Blue)<br /> *Yellow Powdercoat / paint: RAL1003 (Signal Yellow)<br /> <br /> *Trailer coupling: Bradley HU12 Cast Delta Coupling. Auto-reverse. 2200-3500Kg capacity<br /> *Hitch stand: Same as that used on Skybrid winch. Obtained from Skylaunch.<br /> *Trailer axles: Custom made and supplied by Peak Trailers. Bidford-On-Avon. 1500Kg axles, 200x50mm brake size, 5 stud on 6.5&quot; PCD, M16 stud pattern (This is the Land Rover wheel stud pattern-deliberately chosen for ready supply of wheels and commonality with Skybrid winch). Peak Part Number: RA15B200A565. Dimensions O.H.F.=2367mm, Cut length=2065mm. Twin sets of axle brackets fitted at 1950 &amp; 723mm centres. 4-hole cable anchor plate welded to top of axle. Peak Trailers +44 1789 778 041 [http://www.peaktrailers.com/ Peak Trailers]<br /> *Wheels: Land Rover Defender SWB rims. Size 5.5J x 16&quot; ET 33mm offset. 5 stud on 6.5 inch PCD. 205R16 tyres. These rims are readily available secondhand or new.<br /> <br /> ==Spares==<br /> * New starter motor in cardboard box in red container (note - this is specific to the Chevy, will not fit the Oldsmobile, or vice versa)<br /> <br /> ==Work Done (reverse chronological order)==<br /> <br /> ==Summer 2023: Annual service to schedule==<br /> <br /> *Complaint of loss of power and smell of burning in ATF. Also noted that transmission oil level was very high. The latter probably due to a leak back from the torque converter 'O' ring; a not uncommon problem provided ATF level is checked immediately after running the engine. i.e. not overfilled.<br /> <br /> *Work done:<br /> <br /> *Removed clogged air filter and tested launching for one day. No fault found.<br /> *Temperature monitoring strip recorded 120C which exceeds max safe temp (c115C) for Dextron III ATF. (overheating ATF seriously reduces its lubricating properties)<br /> *Cut away fixed mesh guard<br /> Drained down transmission and filtered oil trough fine gauze. No debris found.<br /> *Removed trans oil cooler cleared blocked matrix and flushed through pipework. <br /> *Tested fan and replaced faulty thermostatic fan switch. <br /> *Checked all pipework and refitted cooler.<br /> *Removed trans oil pan. No unusual debris found, just normal amount of sludge found at trans oil change (resin from clutch facings)<br /> *Replaced ATF pickup and pre-cooler filters. NB: pickup filter had previously been insecurely fitted (probably due to fitting at low temp).<br /> *Refilled transmission to lower dip stick mark after running engine.<br /> <br /> Annual service completed including:<br /> <br /> *Replaced differential oil<br /> *Replaced faulty engine temperature gauge and sender.<br /> *Re-torque half shaft nuts to 300 ft-lb.<br /> *Guillotine failed test – blades sharpened and re-set.<br /> *Replaced drum brake pads both sides<br /> *Replace rev limiter display<br /> <br /> * End September 2021: Annual service completed according to schedule - coolant, air filter, engine oil, transmission oil and axle oil changed. CB/RP. Axle oil should be changed every two years. To change the air filter it is necessary to raise the engine cover. This can be done by raising the left hand (port) side of the central cover by loosening sufficient fixings to be able to lift it up from the front end (simple but fiddly - two man job).<br /> <br /> * August 2021: Fault reported - right dog clutch lever failing to fully disengage during launch with left drum. Cured by flood lubrication of all moving parts.<br /> <br /> *24th July 2020: Microswitch that senses position of Drive/Neutral Lever found to not be working. Skylaunch supplied new switch FOC. JH fitted it - note: If ever replaced again, do not overtighten - the bolts can crush the switch.

<p>Chair: /* Work Done (reverse chronological order) */</p> <hr /> <div>==Introduction==<br /> The Y winch is based on the chassis of a Tost 04 model winch. This had been purchased from the RAFGSA, mounted on the back of a bus chassis. For history, and details of the trailer chassis build, LPG system, etc, see the old page which detailed the work done [[Reserve Winch]] This winch suffered a catastrophic axle failure in late 2014. Since then some club members had spent a lot of time rebuilding the winch to use the large diameter Skylaunch drums, and made a full cab, etc. After failures with the club's other winch, it was decided that this winch needed to be finished ASAP - hence was sent to Skylaunch for them to finish the work in Autumn 2019. It was received back at Rivar Hill and commissioned in January 2020. <br /> <br /> ==Work Done By Skylaunch - Aug-Dec 2019==<br /> * Made new engine &amp; transmission mounts to correctly install club-supplied Chevy 454 engine &amp; TH400 short tailshaft transmission.<br /> * Fabricate and powdercoated a second cable drum. Supplied a second roller box and fabricated mounts for this<br /> * Finished fabricating drum covers and fabricated additional guards, cables guides, substantial mudguards, etc<br /> * Added window frames to the cab structure, added steel sheeting, door latches, battery mounts, vent windows, glazed the cab, etc.<br /> * Created drum-stop system to prevent cable run-off when each side's drum is engaged. <br /> * Installed their Throttle Stop Control Panel system with hydraulic brake levers, etc.<br /> * Installed club-supplied starter motor, supplied Alternator, wired this all in to the engine, etc.<br /> * Fitted new HT lead set, new Distributor Cap (large HEI type), Rotor Arm.<br /> * Had the propshaft rebuilt. Supplied and modified to fit Skylaunch style exhaust manifold/silencer systems.<br /> * Water radiator was modified and pressure tested. Mechanical fan added to front of engine, replacement short Chevy water pump installed, electric fan added to front of radiator. Thermostatic switch added into top hose. 180 deg F high-flow thermostat fitted to engine. <br /> * Fitted used but good condition oil cooler and fan assembly and new hoses.<br /> * Engineered new single lever system to operate the cable guillotines.<br /> * Supplied &amp; installed used but good condition 425 gas carburettor, Impco evaporator and solenoid.<br /> * etc, etc...<br /> ** It was agreed that to keep costs down, the club would organise things like fitting the radio and aerials, and painting things like the mudguards, wire mesh guarding, etc.<br /> <br /> ==Safety Interlocks==<br /> * Safety lock on the guillotine lever. This is to stop the guillotines being fired accidentally, or as the winch is moved around the airfield. Ensure the lock lever is slid out of the way before the day's launches commence.<br /> * There's a microswitch fitted to the transmission drive engage lever - this is to stop the winch from being started with the transmission in gear. If the drive lever is in &quot;Drive&quot; it prevents electrical current getting to the starter motor.<br /> * Due to an incident in Summer 2019, the Committee decided to ask Skylaunch to fit an interlock set of switches on the drum engage levers - this further stops the winch from being started with either cable drum engaged.<br /> * There's a mechanical interlock which prevents both cable drums being engaged at the same time.<br /> * There's a warning buzzer which comes on IF a microswitch senses that the brake lever is &quot;ON&quot; AND the Drive lever is engaged. If this buzzer sounds when the drive lever is engaged, just check a) the brake weight has been removed, and b) if so, just push gently forward on the brake lever. this should stop the buzzer sounding. This needs some gentle adjustment of the microswitch position. <br /> * Finally, there's a &quot;low charging voltage&quot; warning buzzer - if the engine is running and the voltage falls below a set amount this buzzer goes off. If this happens, just raise the revs of the engine a little with the throttle lever. This usually stops the buzzer, even when the revs reduce to idle.<br /> <br /> ==Specifications==<br /> <br /> *Engine Chevy 454 Big block - see separate page for details<br /> * Fanbelt Spec: XPA 1250<br /> * Engine coolant: Uses the Red coolant - has better anti-corrosion properties than the old blue type. Do not mix blue and red coolants!<br /> * Engine Oil Filter: FRAM PH5 ( See here for others: https://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/convert/Fram/PH5 )<br /> <br /> * LPG tank: A new tank and fittings was installed in 2012. The same make and type as fitted to the Skylaunch, obtained from a very helpful company called TinleyTech https://tinleytech.co.uk/ +44 (0)1767 676181. The tank used is a 4-hole Cylinder Tank 360x892mm 80 litre capacity. Remote ACME-JIC filler.<br /> <br /> *Transmission: Chevy bellhousing, short (4&quot;) tailshaft. Purchased by club from Skylaunch in April 2019 for use in the Skybrid/ X winch.

These rims are readily available secondhand or new.<br /> <br /> ==Spares==<br /> * New starter motor in cardboard box in red container (note - this is specific to the Chevy, will not fit the Oldsmobile, or vice versa)<br /> <br /> ==Work Done (reverse chronological order)==<br /> <br /> =Summer 2023: Annual service to schedule=<br /> <br /> *Complaint of loss of power and smell of burning in ATF. Also noted that transmission oil level was very high. The latter probably due to a leak back from the torque converter 'O' ring; a not uncommon problem provided ATF level is checked immediately after running the engine. i.e. not overfilled.<br /> <br /> *Work done:<br /> <br /> *Removed clogged air filter and tested launching for one day. No fault found.<br /> *Temperature monitoring strip recorded 120C which exceeds max safe temp (c115C) for Dextron III ATF.

No debris found.<br /> *Removed trans oil cooler cleared blocked matrix and flushed through pipework. <br /> *Tested fan and replaced faulty thermostatic fan switch. <br /> *Checked all pipework and refitted cooler.<br /> *Removed trans oil pan. No unusual debris found, just normal amount of sludge found at trans oil change (resin from clutch facings)<br /> *Replaced ATF pickup and pre-cooler filters. NB: pickup filter had previously been insecurely fitted (probably due to fitting at low temp).<br /> *Refilled transmission to lower dip stick mark after running engine.<br /> <br /> Annual service completed including:<br /> <br /> *Replaced differential oil<br /> *Replaced faulty engine temperature gauge and sender.<br /> *Re-torque half shaft nuts to 300 ft-lb.<br /> *Guillotine failed test – blades sharpened and re-set.<br /> *Replaced drum brake pads both sides<br /> *Replace rev limiter display<br /> <br /> * End September 2021: Annual service completed according to schedule - coolant, air filter, engine oil, transmission oil and axle oil changed. CB/RP. Axle oil should be changed every two years. To change the air filter it is necessary to raise the engine cover. This can be done by raising the left hand (port) side of the central cover by loosening sufficient fixings to be able to lift it up from the front end (simple but fiddly - two man job).<br /> <br /> * August 2021: Fault reported - right dog clutch lever failing to fully disengage during launch with left drum.

<p>Chair: /* Work Done (reverse chronological order) */</p> <hr /> <div>==Introduction==<br /> The Y winch is based on the chassis of a Tost 04 model winch. This had been purchased from the RAFGSA, mounted on the back of a bus chassis. For history, and details of the trailer chassis build, LPG system, etc, see the old page which detailed the work done [[Reserve Winch]] This winch suffered a catastrophic axle failure in late 2014. Since then some club members had spent a lot of time rebuilding the winch to use the large diameter Skylaunch drums, and made a full cab, etc. After failures with the club's other winch, it was decided that this winch needed to be finished ASAP - hence was sent to Skylaunch for them to finish the work in Autumn 2019. It was received back at Rivar Hill and commissioned in January 2020. <br /> <br /> ==Work Done By Skylaunch - Aug-Dec 2019==<br /> * Made new engine &amp; transmission mounts to correctly install club-supplied Chevy 454 engine &amp; TH400 short tailshaft transmission.<br /> * Fabricate and powdercoated a second cable drum. Supplied a second roller box and fabricated mounts for this<br /> * Finished fabricating drum covers and fabricated additional guards, cables guides, substantial mudguards, etc<br /> * Added window frames to the cab structure, added steel sheeting, door latches, battery mounts, vent windows, glazed the cab, etc.<br /> * Created drum-stop system to prevent cable run-off when each side's drum is engaged. <br /> * Installed their Throttle Stop Control Panel system with hydraulic brake levers, etc.<br /> * Installed club-supplied starter motor, supplied Alternator, wired this all in to the engine, etc.<br /> * Fitted new HT lead set, new Distributor Cap (large HEI type), Rotor Arm.<br /> * Had the propshaft rebuilt. Supplied and modified to fit Skylaunch style exhaust manifold/silencer systems.<br /> * Water radiator was modified and pressure tested. Mechanical fan added to front of engine, replacement short Chevy water pump installed, electric fan added to front of radiator. Thermostatic switch added into top hose. 180 deg F high-flow thermostat fitted to engine. <br /> * Fitted used but good condition oil cooler and fan assembly and new hoses.<br /> * Engineered new single lever system to operate the cable guillotines.<br /> * Supplied &amp; installed used but good condition 425 gas carburettor, Impco evaporator and solenoid.<br /> * etc, etc...<br /> ** It was agreed that to keep costs down, the club would organise things like fitting the radio and aerials, and painting things like the mudguards, wire mesh guarding, etc.<br /> <br /> ==Safety Interlocks==<br /> * Safety lock on the guillotine lever. This is to stop the guillotines being fired accidentally, or as the winch is moved around the airfield. Ensure the lock lever is slid out of the way before the day's launches commence.<br /> * There's a microswitch fitted to the transmission drive engage lever - this is to stop the winch from being started with the transmission in gear. If the drive lever is in &quot;Drive&quot; it prevents electrical current getting to the starter motor.<br /> * Due to an incident in Summer 2019, the Committee decided to ask Skylaunch to fit an interlock set of switches on the drum engage levers - this further stops the winch from being started with either cable drum engaged.<br /> * There's a mechanical interlock which prevents both cable drums being engaged at the same time.<br /> * There's a warning buzzer which comes on IF a microswitch senses that the brake lever is &quot;ON&quot; AND the Drive lever is engaged. If this buzzer sounds when the drive lever is engaged, just check a) the brake weight has been removed, and b) if so, just push gently forward on the brake lever. this should stop the buzzer sounding. This needs some gentle adjustment of the microswitch position. <br /> * Finally, there's a &quot;low charging voltage&quot; warning buzzer - if the engine is running and the voltage falls below a set amount this buzzer goes off. If this happens, just raise the revs of the engine a little with the throttle lever. This usually stops the buzzer, even when the revs reduce to idle.<br /> <br /> ==Specifications==<br /> <br /> *Engine Chevy 454 Big block - see separate page for details<br /> * Fanbelt Spec: XPA 1250<br /> * Engine coolant: Uses the Red coolant - has better anti-corrosion properties than the old blue type. Do not mix blue and red coolants!<br /> * Engine Oil Filter: FRAM PH5 ( See here for others: https://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/convert/Fram/PH5 )<br /> <br /> * LPG tank: A new tank and fittings was installed in 2012. The same make and type as fitted to the Skylaunch, obtained from a very helpful company called TinleyTech https://tinleytech.co.uk/ +44 (0)1767 676181. The tank used is a 4-hole Cylinder Tank 360x892mm 80 litre capacity. Remote ACME-JIC filler.<br /> <br /> *Transmission: Chevy bellhousing, short (4&quot;) tailshaft. Purchased by club from Skylaunch in April 2019 for use in the Skybrid/ X winch. Was used in that from April 2019 to August 2019.<br /> <br /> *Blue Powdercoat / paint: RAL5002 (Ultramarine Blue)<br /> *Yellow Powdercoat / paint: RAL1003 (Signal Yellow)<br /> <br /> *Trailer coupling: Bradley HU12 Cast Delta Coupling. Auto-reverse. 2200-3500Kg capacity<br /> *Hitch stand: Same as that used on Skybrid winch. Obtained from Skylaunch.<br /> *Trailer axles: Custom made and supplied by Peak Trailers. Bidford-On-Avon. 1500Kg axles, 200x50mm brake size, 5 stud on 6.5&quot; PCD, M16 stud pattern (This is the Land Rover wheel stud pattern-deliberately chosen for ready supply of wheels and commonality with Skybrid winch). Peak Part Number: RA15B200A565. Dimensions O.H.F.=2367mm, Cut length=2065mm. Twin sets of axle brackets fitted at 1950 &amp; 723mm centres. 4-hole cable anchor plate welded to top of axle. Peak Trailers +44 1789 778 041 [http://www.peaktrailers.com/ Peak Trailers]<br /> *Wheels: Land Rover Defender SWB rims. Size 5.5J x 16&quot; ET 33mm offset. 5 stud on 6.5 inch PCD. 205R16 tyres. These rims are readily available secondhand or new.<br /> <br /> ==Spares==<br /> * New starter motor in cardboard box in red container (note - this is specific to the Chevy, will not fit the Oldsmobile, or vice versa)<br /> <br /> ==Work Done (reverse chronological order)==<br /> <br /> ** Summer 2023: Annual service to schedule<br /> <br /> *Complaint of loss of power and smell of burning in ATF. Also noted that transmission oil level was very high. The latter probably due to a leak back from the torque converter 'O' ring; a not uncommon problem provided ATF level is checked immediately after running the engine. i.e. not overfilled.<br /> <br /> *Work done:<br /> <br /> *Removed clogged air filter and tested launching for one day. No fault found.<br /> *Temperature monitoring strip recorded 120C which exceeds max safe temp (c115C) for Dextron III ATF. (overheating ATF seriously reduces its lubricating properties)<br /> *Cut away fixed mesh guard<br /> Drained down transmission and filtered oil trough fine gauze. No debris found.<br /> *Removed trans oil cooler cleared blocked matrix and flushed through pipework. <br /> *Tested fan and replaced faulty thermostatic fan switch. <br /> *Checked all pipework and refitted cooler.<br /> *Removed trans oil pan. No unusual debris found, just normal amount of sludge found at trans oil change (resin from clutch facings)<br /> *Replaced ATF pickup and pre-cooler filters. NB: pickup filter had previously been insecurely fitted (probably due to fitting at low temp).<br /> *Refilled transmission to lower dip stick mark after running engine.<br /> <br /> Annual service completed including:<br /> <br /> *Replaced differential oil<br /> *Replaced faulty engine temperature gauge and sender.<br /> *Re-torque half shaft nuts to 300 ft-lb.<br /> *Guillotine failed test – blades sharpened and re-set.<br /> *Replaced drum brake pads both sides<br /> *Replace rev limiter display<br /> <br /> * End September 2021: Annual service completed according to schedule - coolant, air filter, engine oil, transmission oil and axle oil changed. CB/RP. Axle oil should be changed every two years. To change the air filter it is necessary to raise the engine cover. This can be done by raising the left hand (port) side of the central cover by loosening sufficient fixings to be able to lift it up from the front end (simple but fiddly - two man job).<br /> <br /> * August 2021: Fault reported - right dog clutch lever failing to fully disengage during launch with left drum. Cured by flood lubrication of all moving parts.<br /> <br /> *24th July 2020: Microswitch that senses position of Drive/Neutral Lever found to not be working. Skylaunch supplied new switch FOC. JH fitted it - note: If ever replaced again, do not overtighten - the bolts can crush the switch. Just tighten the bolts enough to stop the switch form moving. g parts<br /> <br /> *March to May 2020: Martin S installed a radio mount and aerial into the winch cab. Also, a guide tube and cast weight and pulley system was installed - to improve the tow-out braking system. A team of volunteers also painted the mudguards.<br /> <br /> *New alternator fitted - on site by Skylaunch. <br /> <br /> *7th January 2020: 2 full new cables installed.<br /> <br /> *6th January 2020: Club battery installed, insulation added to battery clamp bar. Control panel voltage meter mounted &amp; wired in. <br /> <br /> *4th January 2020: Skylaunch delivered Rebuilt Winch to Rivar Hill. Test launches done on old cable on one drum that club had supplied.<br /> <br /> *Late December 2019: Skylaunch adjusted and test fired the guillotine system. New oil filter and engine oil changed.</div>

It was received back at Rivar Hill and commissioned in January 2020. <br /> <br /> ==Work Done By Skylaunch - Aug-Dec 2019==<br /> * Made new engine &amp; transmission mounts to correctly install club-supplied Chevy 454 engine &amp; TH400 short tailshaft transmission.<br /> * Fabricate and powdercoated a second cable drum. Supplied a second roller box and fabricated mounts for this<br /> * Finished fabricating drum covers and fabricated additional guards, cables guides, substantial mudguards, etc<br /> * Added window frames to the cab structure, added steel sheeting, door latches, battery mounts, vent windows, glazed the cab, etc.<br /> * Created drum-stop system to prevent cable run-off when each side's drum is engaged. <br /> * Installed their Throttle Stop Control Panel system with hydraulic brake levers, etc.<br /> * Installed club-supplied starter motor, supplied Alternator, wired this all in to the engine, etc.<br /> * Fitted new HT lead set, new Distributor Cap (large HEI type), Rotor Arm.<br /> * Had the propshaft rebuilt. Supplied and modified to fit Skylaunch style exhaust manifold/silencer systems.<br /> * Water radiator was modified and pressure tested. Mechanical fan added to front of engine, replacement short Chevy water pump installed, electric fan added to front of radiator. Thermostatic switch added into top hose. 180 deg F high-flow thermostat fitted to engine. <br /> * Fitted used but good condition oil cooler and fan assembly and new hoses.<br /> * Engineered new single lever system to operate the cable guillotines.<br /> * Supplied &amp; installed used but good condition 425 gas carburettor, Impco evaporator and solenoid.<br /> * etc, etc...<br /> ** It was agreed that to keep costs down, the club would organise things like fitting the radio and aerials, and painting things like the mudguards, wire mesh guarding, etc.<br /> <br /> ==Safety Interlocks==<br /> * Safety lock on the guillotine lever. This is to stop the guillotines being fired accidentally, or as the winch is moved around the airfield. Ensure the lock lever is slid out of the way before the day's launches commence.<br /> * There's a microswitch fitted to the transmission drive engage lever - this is to stop the winch from being started with the transmission in gear. If the drive lever is in &quot;Drive&quot; it prevents electrical current getting to the starter motor.<br /> * Due to an incident in Summer 2019, the Committee decided to ask Skylaunch to fit an interlock set of switches on the drum engage levers - this further stops the winch from being started with either cable drum engaged.<br /> * There's a mechanical interlock which prevents both cable drums being engaged at the same time.<br /> * There's a warning buzzer which comes on IF a microswitch senses that the brake lever is &quot;ON&quot; AND the Drive lever is engaged. If this buzzer sounds when the drive lever is engaged, just check a) the brake weight has been removed, and b) if so, just push gently forward on the brake lever. this should stop the buzzer sounding. This needs some gentle adjustment of the microswitch position. <br /> * Finally, there's a &quot;low charging voltage&quot; warning buzzer - if the engine is running and the voltage falls below a set amount this buzzer goes off. If this happens, just raise the revs of the engine a little with the throttle lever. This usually stops the buzzer, even when the revs reduce to idle.<br /> <br /> ==Specifications==<br /> <br /> *Engine Chevy 454 Big block - see separate page for details<br /> * Fanbelt Spec: XPA 1250<br /> * Engine coolant: Uses the Red coolant - has better anti-corrosion properties than the old blue type.
