Well water blasting does a ripper job on 40 year old engine components! I can't take credit for this one though.

Well no need for retreads when there are sets of new unused Semperit Universal grip tyres stashed away!

Constantin, I sent you lots of high res photos via PM .

All three sold at auction to 3 separate buyers. SWB early series (pre-tropical intake) went to a buyer in St Arnaud, Victoria FZG 5305551. SWB series 2 incomplete unit went to Claire, Sth Australia. The LWB 703AP with minor surface rust and missing dyna-starter FZG 5503128 went to B.Callahan in Cola...

Kerry,
Any idea roughly how many of the units sold into Australia would have been LWB?

Jim

Done!

Steve (HaffyHunter) took some basic dimensions of the hood sticks for me a couple of years ago. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4m6d6vp84qjmbgx/AACl0CHYo5ZBnYT8BlUZngb0a?dl=0 Note: the hoop width dimensions are tube centerline-to-centerline. The vertical measuremen...

Same guy has a Landrover Disco on eBay. He says "I have a sore leg and I'm grumpy... Don't annoy me".

Full marks for honesty!

Have you considered club rego Gary?

Would it make sense to have a separate category under general technical? It's a common topic and not always posted in the same category.

Anybody know a retread supplier in Australia who could do 12" off road tyres? I remember seeing a posting with photos either here or the Yahoo group but can't seem to find it again.

Is there an easy way to delete all these bogus members and make all their posts vanish with them?

Rick, I'm interstate now so can't check the number on the side of the gearbox. Will check at Christmas time. John, Well it was purchased new by him so there is no doubt it was always SWB. And your comment is exactly the response I got when I asked him if he could explain what might have happened. He...

My Dad's SWB Haflinger. I checked the serial number plate and Fzg. Nr. = 5313021. But I was a bit perplexed by the plate which says: Fzg. Typ: STEYR-PUCH 703APK HAFLINGER Sept 1974 From what I understand 703 means it is LWB (no) and K = Kommunal = Polycab (no). Not sure what is going on there! Maybe...

Rick,
I'm told Barry Jones made these cabs. But they weren't common.

Cheers,

Jim

A different one from the archives. This one seems to have an aluminium cab and a different rear engine door.

Rick,
If you could PM his contact details that would be much appreciated.

Jim.

He does recall that Moffatt Virtue was around that time the importer of Steyr agricultural tractors. So it starts to make sense.

Steve,
Your Haffie looks great! Thanks for your offer to help. It would be much appreciated if you could take some dimensions. I will PM you.

Jim

OK! Thanks John
