Hehe - after speaking with me most people need to go and see a therapist

Hmm maybe you need therapy to help with that

Well good luck with your search.

I assume these rims you have will take the tractor tyres and fit on the Haf - if so, is the fact they do not match the spare such an issue, afterall the tyres will be the same and the spare with the original style of wheel will be in the spare wheel cradle and not visible. I assume you will only be ...

Well this is the first post on the forum in nearly a month so I cannot miss a chance to hava chat :) So first I cannot help as I only have four of the original wheels - got four 13" Alfa Romeo rims though. So Dave why you need more rims? Yours badly pitted or you just want a spare set? I am sur...

Someone has too much time on hands - great idea though.

Great pics - thanks for sharing - brings a bit of soul to the forum.

Young, dumb and full of ............. (insert your own description there)

Yes been there done that - back then I would have been 30kgs lighter and also had the full head of hair that is now missing.

Is that the same Haflinger you have now or an earlier one?

Unfortunately less that 10 post on a regular or occasional basis.

Well the forum has been quiet for a while - obviously the little Haffies are all having a sleep - too cold in the northern hemisphere and too wet in the southern hemisphere for the cars to go out.

Nice find - all car manuals in the ADF were classified "Restricted".

after reading the post I think maybe I am over thinking my problem and I should leave it as it is.

Yes is easy to do

I have a Bosch electronic regulator in mine - so no adjustment needed. My 'red' charging light stays on until about 1000rpm and the voltage meter shows 12.8v. Remember the dynsastarter is a small generator not alternator so voltage generated by is governed by the revs with not much at ldle - the reg...

Yes dont use a open ended spanner - the torque required is likely to allow it to spin on the nut burring it over - get a socket. It fits the dynastarter as well so can go into your tool kit.

A thin ring spanner might fit though.

I have just done this job. I used a 27mm socket about 3" long - it is the same size as the wheel nuts on my Landrover 101. I dont know about torque - the pulley is keyed so I just did it up to about the same as it was - does need an extension bar. To get at the pulley you need to remove the low...

Both are nice looking vehicles - see he has your tractor tyres on the Haflinger.

But you are making progress and that is what counts - can be demoralising - a stiff upper lip and all that and all of a sudden it will all come together. If you have any Mercedes Benz independent mechanics who work on older Mercs in the area, they may be able to help as may older Mercs have the same...

In my younger days I had a number of offroad bikes and followed KTMs, Maico’s, Husqvarna’s and went to many motocross events - at the time didn't hear of the Puch brand. I had a Cooper 250 MX from 1975 which was made in Mexico and was very similar the Maico and the Husqvarna. I did ride a 125cc Husq...

Dave if you are worrying about what petrol to use, you must now be very close to putting your Haflinger on the road with its very own number plates

So when will the big day be? Don't forget nothing happens without pics

Thankfully we only have E10 here with a full range of "normal" fuels also available 91,95 and 98 Ron normal unleaded. E10 is sold as a cheaper alternative to 91 Unleaded but tests have shown that because of its lower calorific value is gives worse mpg and works out worse than 91 Ron on the...

In Australia with a standard engine you only need to use 91 unleaded - I would not use E10. 98 is not a "top grade" fuel - it is the same fuel as the 91 but just has additives to increase its octane rating to 98. The higher octane fuel does not produce more power in itself but allows highe...
