I hear the diesel isn't that fast off the blocks, hopefully the smoking is just rings or valve guides.

Strange thing just happened, Mrs GB just inspected new 'pile of junk' and declared it has her name on it. Thats a first, might have to fix it up and go on club rego. Now I suppose I'll need to work out a kayak carrier for it .It looks like some minor re-commissioning and it could be back on the road again ! Great find.
Shame I already have too many projects or I'd be in contact ! Mind you, it's only SWMBO that told me I have too many projectsI'm not sure I believe her.
Good to see that the lower PTO bolt was attached to something although that isn't the original towing bracket I was thinking of.

Thanks, I think, ... the farmer told me 70 or 80kmh on the highway .
Speedo shows 64,000 km . Going by the tightness of everything im thinking it has not been around the clock. The Engine is probably gummed up , I'll get a Unreg permit & put some snake oil through it & give it a good run .

I owned one of these 1966-69. Definitely no ball of fire, but very economical - on one run south from Finke to PA measured 36mpg, more usually, round 30. Comfortable around 50mph on the highway, unbeatable off road.
