Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

In the manual it specifies the Gearbox capacity as 2.7ltrs, Transfer Case as 3.2ltrs and Transfer Case with PTO as 5.8ltrs.

Yes, the gearbox & transfer on the LT95 are combined in the one housing with an oil seal to keep them separate. The gearbox filler is on the passenger side of the housing, the transfer filler on the rear. The additional litres for a transfer with PTO is due to a bigger sump.

Me too... It got delivered yesterday. Pics to follow when the monthly bandwidth allowance resets tomorrow night- teenagers manage to get through 100,000 MB some months.

Here are the pics,
What I will be doing is fitting a heater, bonnet ( I have both) & fixing the electrics to the rear end, as they have been severed. Also it appears to have an oil leak either from the timing chain cover or front main seal. Other than that I got lucky as it runs & the winch works, new battery, good tyres, canopy and seats & the doors shut nicely
Cost me $4750 by the time it was delivered..

That's a nice looking canopy. Why did thet wreck that one? With a few bits from a parter it would probably have been a complete unit.

One could surmise that the 'bits and pieces', surplus to requirement and NER vehicles have been exhausted and AFM are preparing for a large volume of, immediately ex-service, vehicles to arrive.
If you live near Holsworthy you might see an awful lot of shiny MBs driving around instead of 110s.
My opinion only.

My thinking exactly.
The main worry with this vehicle ( the Army's , not mine) is the electrics, the loom to the rear has been cut & pulled through the chassis & you can see it hanging on the rear bar. I figured it had been put in the "too hard" basket so I bid on it. I have most of the parts - & time- to bring this back into service.
I could have waited a few more months & probably got a goer for another couple of grand or less, but I was getting impatient.
The service books say that it has done 15,000 klm since 2003, a total of 132,000 and it has a new Capo number, so I assume it's been reworked.
A question for Barefoot Dave.
If the logbook says " Predeployment check carried out" in Nov 2003 but a new clutch fitted in Dec 2004 with only another 131 klm on the speedo, then I guess it was never deployed, & I assume that means overseas?
