The front diff casing has had a decent thump at some point, and I consider a bit of protection for next time can't hurt.

For the rear Salisbury I'm considering either a guard, or a heavy duty fabricated steel or ductile iron cover as a replacement for the pressed steel cover. Replacement covers for the Dana 60 axle (apparently same fitment as the Salisbury) are very popular in the US and seem reasonably priced.

Hey Dave

The guards are both Terrafirma, TF853 - Salisbury Rear Diff Guard
Got a bit of a surprise when it turned up Galvanized but its getting the matt black treatment so im not worried

The thing is one solid unit hopefully i don't loose to much more clearance as im already getting hung up a fair bit

Thanks Usi,

Yeah, reduced clearance was my concern with a guard versus a replacement cover. The cast housing and nose of the diff seems solid as rock; the pressed steel cover seems to be the weak area.

I'll give it some thought (if there's one thing I'm good at its procrastination), but at the moment I'm leaning towards a replacement cover. Be interested to hear how the Terrafirma guard goes.

Cheers

Dave

I never thought to offer the TF guards to the Perentie world, stacks of those in stock...

I put some new gardening tools on the bonnet of the Snr Commander 48-623 (Cyclone from Bunnings). I couldn't find the axe that fits, all the ones I measured wouldn't fit the blade in the bracket on the bonnet.

I also tried the Lanoline treatment to get the paint a bit better, as you see in the photo I have treated the drivers side and not the passenger side.

I also tried the PTO winch with little success.

I can't seem to move the clutch lever on the winch from dis-engaged to engaged. Does anyone have any hints about how to do this ? I thought it would be fairly simple and intuitive. When it is in vertical position I am trying to move it anti-clockwise to the horizontal position. The lever has some play and moves in and out by about 2-3mm and some clicking when i try and move it side to side. Read the instructions in the cab and on these forums but no go .....Help....

G'day Andrew,


We had better get you sorted out on how to operate that winch. Because its a dog clutch type engagement it will only engage in 2 positions and they are 180 degrees apart. Pull the winch cable out off the drum by hand and hold slight pressure on the engagement lever and you will find it will engage when the dogs line up. Just be careful you don't wind the shackle assembly back into the rollers when you are winching as you will find it difficult to disengage the dog clutch when there is a load on it. Best way is to control it with the clutch pedal once you have it set up for a pull, stop it before the end of the rope gets to the rollers, disengage the dog clutch and wind the last metre or so back on by turning the spool with your hand. Also don't forget to disengage the PTO. You will soon get the knack of it.

Started the RFSV for the first time in 3 weeks, started first time drove perfect, PERFECT just what you need from a Landy..:D

My RFSV power steering box is leaking and needs overhaul-will probably replace with new/reco one-anyone know the replacement part no?

Just get a 4 bolt steering box from a Defender, Disco 1 or Rangie Classic. It won't be unique to the RFSV.

Okay-thanks. I assumed that it would be standard type.

If you no longer require the swivel pintle hitch that you removed, I maybe interested in purchasing it from you.


Thanks Jon
