New rice tires for the Haflinger

Well , a kind forum member on here sent me some 12 inch tractor tires for free last year and I finally got them onto rims and put them on my Haflinger at my farm. We had a big wet this month so I thought it would be a good test for them. The tires are a bit narrow at only 5 inches wide but seem to d...

Re: Gearbox disassembly

Interesting! My haflinger that I'm restoring does the same thing. It jumps out of second unless you kept your hand on the gearstick when driving in second. When I bought it someone long ago had fitted one of those octopus luggage straps to the gearshift rod in an attempt to fix the problem. I though...

Re: Do VW Type 1 plug wire air seals work for the Haf?

This is what he's after. I have only two of these which will be used on my army haflinger restoration. I got these from an old mate that had a heap of spares from a long closed haflinger dealership.

Thanks guys, I was after some of this stuff too! I Didn't know where to look! I ordered 4 metres of 16mm I.D, hopefully this should do the main branch. The 20mm might be a bit hard to drag through the under body. Cheers Dave
