Re: Gearbox Dipstick - Original or Modified

In following your line of thought John, I'm assuming it was there for those that had the PTO drive fitted so that it was a quick way to check your oil level.

Re: Gearbox Dipstick - Original or Modified

I sent this to Gary, as I was blooding my knuckles working on this Haffy, this is on my 2nd Haffy. Its a 5 speed, 1970 anti friction ( Australia, Melbourne) build. My other 1974 Haffy does not have one. Like everyone else, I wonder at the over engineering. Danny

Re: Canvas Top

4138058[1].jpg So I have 2 haffy's and made a single cab canvas top that works well, but I was looking for something for the entire length.

Re: And another - rare in Aust

Notice the large pulley for the governor though, Tony from Melbourne sent me one. Told me that they were for Haffie's fitted with the PTO so they cut down the rev's even more. Danny

Looks like someone lent a loaded rifle up under a haffie, Imagine the head that would roll if you did that in the Army. Don't change it Rick, great history. danny

Re: Seats

Well Rick, we most likely ran into each other as I was 4 Cav in the 80"s and spent most of my time in Mortar tracks. I redid my seats not that long ago so if your short some parts PM me and I'll see if I have spare parts for you. Always good to hear old and bold stories makes you forget all you...
