Thread: Time for a Re-fit

Thats an interesting fix on the the swivel balls. I'll be keen to see how they go.
Even though one of the wrecks i have had two almost new one's on it.. ........but they won't last for ever!!

I've had a very good weekend. Today, with lots of help from a mate who'll remain nameless (but always pops up on this forum whingeing about me leaving my Landy in pieces all over his farm....) - we got the engine and transmission back where they belong, nestled snugly into the chassis.

It wasn't that straightforward, as very early in the piece we had to face the fact that the mechanicals and the chassis were 40km apart. This we rectified by taking the mountain to Mohammed:

By the way, I am going to try to post pics through this narrative, but never have much luck with posting photos here....

First, we loaded up the chassis.....

....then we took it for a drive to see the mechanical bits, and got the two together through judicious use of tractor, various chains, the loading ramp and a bit of breath-holding (and we didn't end up all tumbling down into the creek)....

Bloody hell. I managed to post it before I was finished writing. Stupid attachments. Hang on a sec....

Righto, back to the story:

As I said, we managed to wed engine/transmission to chassis. Then we got on the road to take the whole lot home...

Possibly the fastest the vehicle has gone backwards ever. Or forwards.

The neighbours greeted the new Duck-egg Blue wonder with amazement, and then the whole lot went back into the shed.

Now - I still need a good firewall!!!!!!! Can't do much more until I find one.....

Cheers,

John

See how pretty it is?

Looking Good

I'm very concerned about the bloke on the ground behind the trailer. Did you back over him?

Nah, he was right. He just lay there whingeing.
