If it's the one I recall that was a fairly heavily modified machine, including a disc conversion with willwood rotors, those tyres were much wider than would fit on a normal Goat. Although it was a good looking piece of kit. From memory there was a discussion on maple leaf up or similar about...

Congratulations, looks good

That looks suspiciously like a transfer case... Any markings on it, wouldn't mind doing a bit of a hunt to see if I can work out who made them and what model. In case I need to rebuild mine..... Have heard two stories so far, one that they are English from M series Bedfords, and the other that...

Removal of the knobs didn't help in the end, with transfer stuck in Low and the 2/6WD selector held forward as a result, there's not enough room to move the doghouse up and forward before i hit the dash. On the upside i'm pretty sure it's the high/low that's my problem after getting a torch...

Don't think this is the tool listed in the TM, but once i got the tension right it made removing gear knobs a lot easier.

Another day, while in a better light and vacuuming up the mud from in the dash etc. Rumour has it that this rig was retired from service with Boart when it got drowned in a flooded creek, the amount of crap caked up under panel etc does support this. Noticed markings on the front right bumper...

Another R&R gone, another couple of steps dancing with the goat... Erected a cover and tarped up before wet season sets in, which means the tractor isn't permanently tarped in, making work a little easier to access. Importantly, still starting and moving, so i decided to back it out to the...

Just to resurrect this briefly, i've been reading that the "D" spec gear oil is equivalent to GL5, but there is a risk of damage to yellow metal components due to high sulphur content. i'm also picking up that the GL5 may not be friendly in the GL4 designed LSD and/or synchro systems. Has...

Somewhat reminiscent of the Haflinger, although i must admit my first thought was Mini Moke. Spock

Beginning to wish i lived closer to me too, then i could get a good run of spanner time.... at the moment i'm being nagged to project manage and set up a rebuild plan for others to enact in my absence.... Mrs is even in on the act with plans to refit it for bucks nights and formals as a wet...

Looks like she sits well on the road, what sort of speed did you get to on the 55 stretch? Also notice you have blinker functionality, is this with the solid state unit installed or was it standard function, mine seems to be a solid light up only. Spock

Not a cab mount unit at that size.... i'm guessing it's functional. Very neat accessory. Spock

New dog huh... funny, my first job on return was to collect an 11mth old staffy, dog #4.... although i'm not sure the chihuahua counts. Definitely up for a tailgate if you get lucky, mines not practically repairable. Unless the new dog eats up my funding.... Spock

Just eyeballed this pic again while flicking through... wonder if t-case has low fluid level, although i think that this leak looks more like diff, same as one further back. Spock

And now for the mystery shot... Looking down into the engine bay right hand side, i'm guessing the 1/8th copper line should attach up to the Donaldson filter and then to the missing indicator canister in the cab. The taped off green 3/8th line comes from the top of the fuel tank, not the...

Attached is picture of the other end of the ring in pressure gauge, brass fitting against copper line didn't thrill me so i swapped it back to the factory sender unit attached to the engine mount brace, no movement on the dash indicator and one recalcitrant bolt holding the instrument panel in...

US tailgate So this was the state of the tailgate when i removed it, unsurprisingly the pins were a bit stiff to knock out. Speaking of pins, anyone got a shot of the pin securing the right hand engine cover stay to the tractor? Mines missing, has a short bolt in for now. Spock

Did try reversing, manual says stationary and neutral for low range select... when i get back the other side of the country i'll pick a "quiet" day, find an empty block nearby and try get some wheel slip and/or more reverse, see if that helps. No harm trying a rolling shift either. If not, it's...

That could explain my problem, but i don't think so, no sign of extra mod to the fibreglass tunnel. Spock

As mentioned this is all the "cold start" system, which i have found helpful in Qld.... the other bit (which had me stumped for a while) is the glow plug and condenser assembly just to the rear of the blower, see orange lead below. Spock
