All ready now to start degreasing & pressure cleaning..YAY..


Now a couple of questions..

I noticed in the cross member under the engine today that it has a dug out in it for the drive shaft...SO is it a military chassis or 1ton..
The chassis number is i think from what i can work out is 943203480 or the last 0 could be a C not to sure ...Someone mite know with the number..

Also where are the ribs on the later gearboxes i seen these but havent yet had time to go look at the green one to see if it has them or if i have a pic of the green ones box close up on same side..

Banjo, Uncle Ho might be able to help you, he seems very knowledgable on Series LandRovers!!!:) May be send him a PM!!:D

Actually, here's a link to a Thread where he has helped in identifying some Series 1 LandRovers!!

Thats it for today will get some more done tomorrow after lunch as we getting a visiter ...

:eek2:

You mean it's not brown all over?

Top work there banjo.. that SCA suff sure does the job doesn' it?

we have come to a stand still with our "bessie" to many holidays to be had me thinks;):D

Mrs hh:angel:

that's a suffix C box so not one of the last ones suffix D is supposed to be the best to look for but if yours runs nice, changes nicely and doesn't hop out of gear i'd just continue to use it at least until it shows signs of needing work/replacement...

i don't know enough about landys but i'm led to believe that all the one tons had that cutaway in the crossmember for the prop' and i'll guess the military "combat" chassis did as well due to the increased prop' angle caused by the extended dumb irons/spring hangers and shackles (i really need to crawl under my N.Z. ex-mili' 88" to see if i have that cutaway as that has extended dumb irons)...

anyway your progress is looking good [thumbsupbig]

Well went & got a bit done this morning before it got to hot..
Took the engine out..
