3 hrs later and fuel tank is out, but those silly, sill, 7/16 bolts are holding to the end :mad:
Nearly got the driver side bottom sill off.
Fuel tank looks nice and clean inside.
Took some pics of the handbrake bracket, it looks bent but before I straighten it, I will check its not normal.
Also a small third pipe comes from the filler tube.
will post Pics tonite.

How would this oil go in a series 3.

TRACTOR TRANSMISSION & HYDRAULIC OIL (Mineral)

whitehillbilly

yep.

Thanks Harry.
It states 10w30 / 75w80
why the two ratings ????

whitehillbilly

Should be OK. The two ratings are because engine and transmission oils use two different and unrelated sets of numbers to describe the properties of the oil.

Thanks John.

The hand brake bracket bolted on to the chassis is normal. It is slightly offset from factory or the lever would be between ur legs as ur driving. Youre hand brake lever looks bent in the middle or it could be the angle of ur pic.

Well a few smaller projects out of the way, so back to Gilbert.
Tub nearly off, Was as far as I could get it off by myself.

whitehillbilly

Tub is off, ready for Pressure clean.

whitehillbilly

well lots of mud came off and out of many orifices.
Pressure cleaner even up the chassis, and more muddy water.
Still needs a bit of degreaser in some places and another clean.
Looks like it has been paint not that long ago. not much flaking paint.
Then wire brush, deruster and paint.
What paint are members using on the chassis ????
