Very Very Nice Jason, and congrats on getting it all back together and working. Nothing like the proper original manuals to go off, and some people who know hey:D

Your killing me having all the extra goodies, like Capstan, rear PTO, heater and tow plate, all of which I hope to find and fit to my 107".

Looking at yours with the door tops off, I have a few spares with bent upper frames I am thinking of modifying the tops on to get the lines right in the cab. Either fitting roll down plastic widows, or cutting the window frames off completely for summer, keeping the originals for winter. Hmm......

Again well done, and can't wait to see it out and about.

Thanks CC
yep can't wait to get it on the road and rolling legally. He developed a back fire and some spluttering today, scared the crap out of me when it first went off. Will have to work on that, or reasons why. At least read over Scollops last adventure again.

I tell you what's killing me, and this is not to rub anything in, is the seller has the barrel wheel thing for the PTO but can't find it. It was part of the sale but no show so far.

I will have to get someone who knows what it should feel like to take it for a spin. To me it goes well but seems a bit slow, funny enough, and pick up is there but I imagined perhaps a bit more. Maybe you don't notice it because you notice all the other vibrations and noise.

Still all good fun

Congrats Jason:D

Looking very very nice, will be great to see lucky out and about with SLOw:)

PM on the way

No wait, Phone call

Hi Jason. Looks GREAT....
The thing for the PTO. Do you mean a belt pulley?
Keep on him about it if it was a part of the deal as they are worth bucks.
Dont want him selling it off to someone else.
Keith

MMM
I officially withdraw my "shannanigans" call !!

Mate thats a beauty - well done

:twisted:(just PM me your address and I'll be over soon for it!!):twisted:


cheers
Digger

Looks great Jason, and you're right, nothing quite beats that first start up and run!
As for the ability of the little old beast, it will continue to amaze you the more you drive it, as in fact the technology behind actual four wheel drive has not advanced one iota since your vehicle was made. A little bit of electronic assistance, a lot more comfort and speed but that is about it. You just have to learn to take your time and smell the roses (over the oil) on the way.

Regards
Glen

The most common attachment for the Land rover PTO was the belt pulley for driving via a flat belt to a chaff cutter or cream separator.

Bring it down to my place and I will take it for a spin around the family farm !
:burnrubber:

ZD, for me it was the first drive of a series full stop so I didn't know what to expect really. It was good fun I have to say. I assume they are not fast from what others say, but just curious to see if Lucky is running at his best.

Interesting the history of 4wd's when you look at it like that, I had never done so. This 1955 beast went where my 2006 rodeo struggled with it's limited slip diff and IFS, so there you go. I could feel the front let go when cross axeled but the rear had enough to push, then it was it's turn as the front grabbed and through we went.
I though I had gotten to like smelling the roses in the PUMA, but looks like I will have to re adjust for the series. It a nice factor to bring into ones life, going slower.
I think my accelerator pump membrane in the carb could be playing up. It seems to have all the symptoms the manual suggests. Kind of in two minds weather to give it to an expert, or give it a crack myself. However I feel I should, and get to know the car and it's workings better.

wrinklearthur, don't temp me. When I've had enough of work and Brisbane, my wife and i regularly through around the idea of to Tassie.
