Thanks again, Ed.

Looks like I'll have to save up more pennies in order to get the right one.

Bloody impressive. Skid steer. That is calling out for a set of tracks.

Could you pm me an email address Rod. I will send you an image of an exploded view of inside a gearbox.

these are ace. you'd be surprised how far they will get you with a good driver
yeah its not the biggest load space in the world. but they are a compromise vehicle, not as much space as a landrover. but a much lighter footprint. not as handy as a quad. but it has a cab, and that load space can be the differance between driving solo and taking a trailer

anyone remember the halflinger?.....them little fella's used to bounce all over the trials courses years ago

Remember them well :thumbup: There was quite a few knocking about the trials scene at one time. Whale tankers used them as factory runabouts, I don't know if they still do ?

I've done a fair few hours in Unimogs over the years, they're impressive. A yard by us had literally hundreds of them for sale, after a few years the one's they couldn't sell (dozens) were bulldozed into the old railway cutting and buried :cry:

Where they the old NATO petrol mogs Rod ?
There was a glut of them at one time back in the 80's, the firm I worked for then had 4 of the bloody things which ended up being converted to Perkins diesel engines.

Here's the ideal tool for George, cheap to.
