TRUCK, CARGO, HMLC, 5 TON, 6x6, ALVIS STALWART - Files collection
Stolly files.
FV620 FV622 FV623 FV624
I believe in the free exchange of manuals - to help keep old vehicles out of the scrap yards.
You are welcome to download the files offered here. I would hope that you would offer any files that you have or know of in this free exchange.
In 2020 we had Covid, and I was put on Furlough. As a former RE Stolly Op who was now helping to Admin the HMLC group on Facebook - I decided to start researching the Stalwart's history, and gather any army manuals to help keep these wonderful vehicles out of the scrap yards. Below is the result of two years of work.
You've got to feel sorry for all the archivists and the MOD, for the absolute bombardment whilst half the country sat at home during Lockdown researching things. My thanks to MOD for the cooperation shown through FOI.
And my big thanks to all the members of the HMLC group who sent me manuals for scanning and declassifying.

Page Quick Links
This page is in support of the Facebook group Alvis HMLC 6x6 Stalwart Group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/alvis.hmlc.6.x.6.stalwart.group
Part of the group's aim is to try and help keep the remaining vehicles out of the scrap yards, as well as to share memories and new stories of this amazing machine.
The webpage is to share MOD Service and Maintenance files for the Truck, Cargo, HMLC, 5 TON, 6x6, Alvis Stalwart (FV 620, 622, 623. 624), all of which have been declassified by the MOD at Abbey Wood between 2020 and 2022.
This is the type of oil dispenser that is used (with a grease nipple connector on the end) to pump oil into the torsion bars and other suspension components of the High Mobility chassis.
Alvis Stalwart HMLC Files
If you have a better version of one of the files held here, then please do contact me.
All of these files can be downloaded by hovering over the file and clicking on the Popout icon in the top right corner.
Note. All these files are marked to prevent people from downloading and selling on eBay and other places. If you buy a Stalwart manual with pages missing then you've been had.
Workshop manuals
Files are set out by where the repairs would be completed. Some items would be completed in the Field, some in the Unit's Light Aid Detachment, and some sent to the main Base workshops. All files are relevant, but some are easier to complete than others.
