LT230

[Ancient Mariner]

While fitting the Quaife TBD I did a few other mods .As well as the oil mods as posted by Bush 65 I bored the rear output housing 6 mm deeper and fitted a double row bearing and shortened the spacer between the speedo gear and
bearing.
more tomorrow :D

Next was the notorius intermediate gear leak the shaft was set up located in a
unworn section and centre determined the case then bored to 1.400" with a recess for a flange,A bush of 4140 was turned up and pressed in with a bit of
gasket eliminator round the flange.the bush then finished to size [.The collapsible spacer more suitable for a dunny roll than a TC] The inter gear was set up on the shaft with old trued up spacer the end float measured and a
solid 4140 solid spacer turned up with allowance for preload

you are putting some very nice machinery to good use there AM. well done and keep up the good work. :cool:

[Judo]

The kind of work I can only dream about....


...and read on AULRO. :D

[Psimpson7]

nice work. for info, the later cases, TD5 onwards dont have the collapsible spacer, they have a solid spacer like yours

[Ancient Mariner]

I did not know Do they supply different spacers ?or hopefully don`t use shims setting preload is a breeze on the bench I suspect the collapsible spacer contributes to case wear


AM

[Psimpson7]

I agree re the case wear. yes there are different sizes available as far as I know.

Next the front output flange was replaced with a 9"ford yoke same spline about 20 mm the area with no spline turned off and a mud shield fitted
The yoke uses the larger Landy universal 1310 series or a 1350 series could
be used for more articulation or HP

[Ancient Mariner]

Thanks for the interest fellas makes writing it up worthwhile .A bit more. A
disk park brake was bought and fitted with a small mod .Mounted to the back
of the flange instead off the front brings it closer to the case about 20mm.
The modded 1350 yoke was then thru bolted and a special nut machined.
Pictures show custom PTO hydraulic pump Finned extended sump and disc brake with drive flange. Just separate levers for HY--LOW Diff lock and PTO
to be done:D

Thanks AM:wheelchair:

[Homestar]

Very nice work. What will you be using the hydraulic pump for?

[roverrescue]

AM,

What do you want to build up another one sans hydro PTO?
No time limit but I like the cut of your jib ;)

thanks for taking the time to share

[Bush65]

Well done, maybe one of the best LT230's on the planet, or any other small place :BigThumb:

I like those yokes for the uni-joints - the stock iso standard flanges that Land Rover use have such poor angular capacity due to putting the uni so close to the flange.

Your other solutions and the rest of your work shared in this and other threads speak for themselves.

Another small mod no real advantage I am just to thick to master one lever doing two things:D The hydraulic pump is for a mid mounted winch with a level
wind system similar to a bait cast fishing reel. Or a self tailing capstan As one member said in one of my posts [A rum soak who should stick to boats] the time has come to do just that. A project I have been working on for the last
25 years was finished in November and as I didn`t want launch till after the
cyclone season I started on the Defender :( I hope it has been of interest and thanks for all the kind comments:)

AM:wheelchair: Slightly off topic but does have a 4bb1 and 2ab1:D

[Homestar]

I like the lever setup. - And the boat. Is that a Cummins or Petbow genset sitting to the right of the boat?

[Ancient Mariner]

A cummins 15 Kva water cooled 4 cyl Lister from up the Cape nearly leak as
much oil as a LR

[uninformed]

have you converted your LT230 to part time FWD, or is the 2wd/4wd lever just to operate the diff lock?

Just some levers I had here from series days I suppose it should read diff lock in-out
As I have to engrave the hyd PTO I might alter

You are now informed

thanks, I hope you take the time to do a thread on your winch and its set up. :cool:
