Although I now have the space, I think the only use I'd have for a third LR is to sleep in as soon as it arrived home.

It would have been a good buy though.... the price was suitable, I gotta get a Bigger place that has a big shed with a Flat driveway..

Thought it might be, were just out of camden at a guess about an hour out of Pennent Hills,

in spite of what people would have you belive puting a engine back togeather is fairly stright forward, the hard bit is in the measureing everything up crank, cylinders ect ect

i'll let you know when I get the bits back, the build will probley be on a saturday and back into the skid-steer on the sunday (if all goes well)
haveing a few problems finding 20tho over size crank bearings at the mo
