Thanks John, regarding the torque tube, I didn't think too much about the plug initially but when I really looked at it, I realised the way it sits won't allow it to be a drain plug. Good to know. I haven't found how much, or what grade oil to put in the torque tube but I hadn't looked to much yet. ...

It's been a while since I last posted (and yes I have donated as I really enjoy this site). Anyway, Polly is now in pieces and is in the throes of having new bearings and some minor gearbox (transaxle) repairs, body repairs, painting etc. … you get the picture. To my current (minor) issue. Can anyon...

Well, it seems that I am at an impasse! The RHS plate front diff side won't 'come off at all. It's strange, because the other three cover plates (front LHS, and both rear diff ones) came off easily, it's as if the bearing has encountered a ridge on the main shaft and just has won't move any further ...

Thanks John and Garry, I have had success with the rear swing arms in taking them off (although the RHS rear swing arm with entire diff was little heavy), but I have not had any success yet with getting the RHS front swing arm off. The two square "stones" on the drive shaft you mentioned J...

Thanks all, I will gird my loins and have another look when my son has removed all his furniture form the shed! Garry your thread may have answered my other question regarding the removal of the diff housing from the centre tube with the reference to the small threaded holes at 11 o'clock and o'cloc...

Polly Restoration Hello all, as I briefly introduced my three Haflingers in the Show and Tell section I decided a post in the restoration section might be appropriate. I have encountered a problem that maybe someone can advise on. Hopefully it isn’t an “of course what was I (not) thinking” moment. I...

G'day all. For those who may be interested I have attached a copy of the Australian Army Manual for the Haflinger. Not much of interest here as it is basically an Army clone of the original manual, however, I am amused by the Restriction notice on the front cover, .. can't give it to the press! Real...

So let me try again! Obviously the photos I did successfully post were of the Australian Army Haflinger and trailer. The other two are shown below • Poly cabin AP/3 – 1964 – currently being restored via a complete tear down Poly 1.png • Civilian APT – 1966 – extremely rusty (basically spares machine...

Thanks all. Will post some more photos when I figure out how to have them go in upside down. This is a common problem on many forums. I assume you used a phone to take the pics - if so this is the issue. If you use the phone in portrait (held as you would normally use it) the pics will come up the ...

Thanks all. Will post some more photos when I figure out how to have them go in upside down. As for the Register thanks also Garry, in fact that is how I was sure of its provenance for the chassis numbers of the trailer and vehicle. Unfortunately the engine seems to have been changed and is not that...

Hello all, just a quick note to say g’day introduce myself and let you know that I’ll be around trying to glean as much information as I can (and hopefully contributing things as well) in the quest for restoration/repair and discovering more about Haflingers. For information I live in Tasmania, Aust...
