By the look of that big shaft in your pic i'd say it was with this & on a SWB.do you have the PTO off the gearbox for it or was it ran off the thomas one..
Actualy my PTO i think is off a toyota but made to fit the landy.The guy i brought the car off was so body it was'nt funny..Have you got the front shaft for the thomas PTO they are a steal shaft with a uni in middle & one at each end.
Tony your sitting on a gold mine of stuff.

I think the biggest problem for you Tony is that your so far out for pickup..

Karen has already said that she does'nt care if i fill the yard up with landys or bits cause i'd still be anal & have a clean & tidy yard no matter how much stuff i put in there..I just dont trust the owner he could evict us at anytime BUT he has said to us & the realestate he does'nt want us to leave as we look after the place & pay our rent on time every week..& i am looking into getting one of those herpy norman Garages there just a garden shed only 6 meters long by 3 meters wide & have the doors at the front.There not great BUT it would give me somewhere to work in all weathers..Plus another garden shed next to the one i put up already 3X3 meters would be just nice aswell..

the pto stuff i am keeping it all. bahahahaha it is hard to find that stuff.
i was probably hoping to get around $800 for the blue ute. the rust in it isnt too bad the door tops are rusty and a tiny bit in the chassis I dont really know i there is bog or not in the firewall it is all carpeted up. I could sell it to you for a bit less but still poses the problem as how to get it there as I dont really having a way of getting it there either unless I bought a land rover for parts nearby. let me know if your interested

You also have 3 sets of extractors off the 2.25 i seen in ya for sales you should ebay em to.they can be posted threw the post to.. You'll be serprised what you can post..throw the grills on ebay with postage. Also remember if you do scap body parts you get a bit more for them as they not like cans.Its all bermabright not just alloy so you get more.I cant remember what they buy it as now it mite come under shrewded alloyminium..& as for steal they must be paying ok for it cause look at all the scabs coming round for the rubbish collection..& i usualy ring an old guy he comes gets all my old metal.

Actualy you blue car would be perfect for Jim aswell.easy fix & could probably just use club rego.Plus he could use it to get his fire wood.

Could be a tempting thought Jason. Let me catch up here, the blue ute has no motor and is undriveable I take it, so whoever buys it will have to arrange transport. How much work needs to be done on it to make it registerable, Tony??

Jim it has an engine but its stuffed I have a FULLY rebuilt red 202 to replace the crap 202..Thats all it needs & an engineers certificate & rego..Very easy fix & i cant see the engineers cert being to dear as its only the engine that needs it..So would need to get it towed here bout $200. then Engineer About $200 i think..So far thats only $1200.Then just ya blue slip $40 then ya green slip & put it in Mrs Aus's name for pension rego & you have a great work horse..I was really interested BUT KAREN said NO cause i have 2 rego's due soon.

So i recon it could all be done for under $2000. I am giving Tony the rebuilt engine outa Harry for it but if you buy it i will fit it all for you..Just need to get it here & thats only a matter of ringing a few or all the towtruck company's & getin the best tow price..It would be perfect for you Jim for your fire wood colecting..& the Guy round here for the BLUE slip is good we take all ours there..

Very tempting Jason, but she has spoken...No!!
