I know that. But it is on the side of the road with the bonnet up

Finally got the box out of the 120 then removed the clutch assembly. Good news. The clutch friction plate has literally exploded as in springs and stuff parted company. Damn 4BD1
Big thanks to the slow club as CC annd MR HH in particular gave me a big start. The transmission hoist and adapter worked a charm. I should replace seals while I'm in there but too lazy. New plate and back in service.

An exploded view of the friction plate. I have no idea how or why that bottle got in the photo.

I expect they are lying about everywhere.

Cheers, Mick.

You made me check if I had left mine behind, but that is only a little bottle. My Man size one is here safe and sound.

Speaking of manly stuff. Here is the video showing the difference between the early industrial 4BD1's (In a Man's, man's man's man's Landrover) and the later ones.

Turn up the volume, Isuzu in stereo.

Cant get the realman sized bottles around here, you lot must have raided the local bottle shop last week

Damn Isuzu's, the keys just rattled off my laptop.

Was interesting hearing the two together. I think yours even though has a sharper tick tick sound is a lot smother below 900RPM. Drop mine down there and the rivets start to pop out of the body.

Funny, this place feels like a ghost town since you have left. very quiet.

I'll get this 120 out of the way and start on one of the leafers. Pretty keen to get one of the 80" back in commission. Probably the one in the work shop that's bastardised.
Keep it as is working condition and do a full restoration on the latter one with the PTO and original underpinnings.
You'll be pleased to hear I have got AYI into that new shed for now so is being preserved for latter when I clean up that long old shed above the homestead. Damn there is some stuff in there.

Sorry for Hi-jacking the trip thread. As you were.

Mrs hh

Don't forget Tony, I'll have your Limited "Special Edition" Maroon starter motor for you . Should you be looking for a perspex bonnet to show it off ?
