Hello. Many of these parts, including the canvas door limiting straps are available as NOS from Haflinger Ersatzteile in Austria. I purchased a set of these straps new only a few months ago. Cheers. Rick

The price has gone up a fair bit, but that might be down to Magna Steyr who provides Haflinger Technik with these scans as the original record owners. So in effect you are paying for two companies for their time in arranging these requests, so fair enough to me.

Some more pics from this last weeks activity- installing the old style air cooling ducting and sloping rear door. I have Dave Ogden to thank for these lovely new short and rear side boards. He had them fabricated in Cairns from some rusty old samples I had. The were painted last week, and here they ...

Yes Lane Cove National Park has some nice spots on the river that can accommodate lots of trailers, and with BBQ facilities. I'll duck down one lunchtime in the next week and scope out a good spot, and create a map. I have an email list of over 100 owners or interested people, and Bernard Callahan (...

I would vote Lane Cove National Park, being in my back yard and is just off the M7 and M2 so easy to get to. Not sure if my baby will be running by then, but not far off. Rick

Thanks for your guesses. Constantin has it! Although there was only one of these with the jumble of parts in which I received this Haflinger, it seems these were bolted the the rear platform rail to mount the platen bumper bar. I assume it did not leave the factory this way, but I don't really know....

Thanks for the tip Julian! I'm look forward to the final phase where I work on the hood frame, canopy and doors. I've been ferreting all the parts I could find for years now.

Last week I was completing the engine bay wireing. Just hooked up the back-up electric fuel pump, so ready for a battery.

Thank you all. Rick, I've grown to like the colour. I found a part under the dash unaffected by UV and had the paint colour matched by eye. I could not find a colour code for this colour to go by. Julian, this is a bolt-on front end, so maybe the switch over was around 62 or 63. The ID plate on the ...

Hello John. I've looked for exactly that, but nothing obvious. Maybe PTO related? No idea really.

Hello, can anyone guess as to what this is? I have no idea. It came with my disassembled 1963 Haflinger, same colour as all the other body bits.

Thanks

Rick

Welcome Craig. Tasmania is certainly Haflinger treasure island. Rick

Hello Gary. I moved the project to the basement car park of my business five years ago, and it's been largely neglected there until now.

Stripped the oil bath air filters today. Messy.

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. I personally like to keep things original and preserve them, and only restore basket cases. This was a rust free but battered and fully disassembled basket case, so in this case I felt it was justified. Today I spent a couple of hours fitting the ...

today was a momentous day for this Haflinger. The engine was fitted. First time this drive train has had an engine fitted in around 40 years.

Finally found the energy to take the rear swing arms off, undo the fulcrum pins, re-fit the cover plates to the swing arms, and fit the to the gearbox. I think this is the worst job to do on the Haflinger, and now I've had the pleasure of doing it twice over...

Work on the restoration started in earnest in 2007. Here are a couple of pics taken at critical stages. The only problem- I managed to fit the right hub and swing axle to the left side and visa versa, only noticing when I went to fit the handbrake cables. It was psychologically too much to pull the ...

Here are some pics of my 1963 APTL from back in 2005. It was one of around 3 or 4 Haflingers used by the Tasmanian Hydroelectric Commission (HEC) to survey for new dams. They were helicoptered in, and took a beating. There were remains of the HEC logo and vehicle number. It was disassembled in the 1...

Great looking Haflinger, Danny. I had a double-take thinking it was a Pinzgauer with those giant wheels.

Just a note to say I've listed a few surplus items on ebay. Just search for Haflinger and you should find them. I'm selling items I've accumulated but not needed for my restoration project. There are a few rare / hard to find items, and I'll be adding more over the next week. Cheers. Rick

If I get my 10-year project ex-hydro Tasmania 1964 haffy going again in time, I'll be there. I'm in cursing phase trying to refit the rear axles, but after that it should be smooth sailing. My only worry is this is an immaculate Haflinger like the day it left Graz, and worried about getting a scratc...
