No no no, bring the trailer

it could be already loaded, but i like your optimism of a successful day !!

was mentioning the the run through the middle with my son, but we normally have a tandem trailer on the back. if it works, we could leave trailer somewhere and tag along

often coming through Dunedin, but not in an old school ride.

probably need to organise counter-terrorism when the shit-box marathon comes through in January.

I’ve tried doing that multiple times but the dizzy can only go in one way

raise dissy, rotate rotor 180degrees, then reinstall.

Might have been off the system for a while (rather than fresh out of Japan and not regod) 

if dead rego before 91-ish ? when the system went digital, it will say plate not issued, never been registered etc

Also, @smokin'joehow is your lathe treating you? Did the currants and raspberry bushes survive?

yes, had a wee play with it, but need to find where i hid my tooling and get set up properly.

we fucked up with rebuild, as  i should got a new drive belt installed while it was apart, as it will be a major strip down to replace !! i suspect the motor could either have a wiring issue, or be on it was out, as a bit queer on start-up, wants to reverse rotation.

berries are sprouting new leaves daily and awaiting full transplant, currant-ly in 60l tubs with good compost

Pics.

need to rebuild it before pics.

we found most of the operating side on weekend. need to find/make barrel and locate the air solenoid

better rebuild the super-Nerf 200.
600mm 1/2 copper barrell

12v airhorn solenoid and resivour

12v 4wd-shock compressor

jam D6 reo-bar down inside of Nerf bullet for 200m approx distance. will use lead this time, so i can surf-cast hopefully 250-300m

Dont 80 series springs fit the back of those for 3-4 inch lift?

have been told they will lift, but lift depends how sagged they were before taking out, shocks shocks fit too but same rule applies

be careful with with lifting @felixx, i put H/D STD height in the 80-series and raised it 95mm rear and 90mm front

my Landcruiser was very close to a fail in similar area. tried to get me on structure, that was over-ruled then had a go over treadblock not inside mudguard. somehow they passed it, as the panel shop said it shouldn't have got one !!

Experience tells me bite the bullet and upgrade the lot to a common size, not worth the hassle persevering sometimes

done this with wifey's notso-Swift. only them and a povo-version Vitz has same tyres as factory fitment. up one size and common as mud

if you are removing the doors to make access easier, ensure you have the door card available for position the side intrusion bars.

whole lot easier to shift the bar during cage build, than to relocate door handles / latches / etc....................... not that i have done it!!!!!

When your stable of fermentation fridges grows (it likely will), a cheap and effective heater is a single bed electric blanket, $15 from the warehouse and has just enough power to step a ferment to finishing temp

i found waterbed heaters (if one can still buy then) are decent as they are easy to clean. lecky blanky get manky quicky

hmm interesting ill try some of the other ones i have.

with the 2 backlash nots loosened, the drive gear on the lead screw is quite loose,,but may some sort 'clutch' engagemeny to shaft ?

3 minutes ago, jakesae101 said:

can you check if the gear from the leadscrew has a small shear pin in it 

 

i don't believe so, appear to be tightly fitted to shaft

Did you ever manage to check this ?

just have now.

mine isn't in use and was also seized, but it did free up once the backlash? nuts on right hand end were loosened...... maybe some fine swarf got in there, or lube dried up due to lack of use and oiling ?

Ohh bugger 

As good as they are they ain't no landcruiser

for a start, L/Cruiser have brakes, although 6cyl not trubo are allergic to hills

How are the petrol ones for towing other cars? 

gearing is all good, but std brakes are average-shit.
braked trailer absolute must and plenty of following distance
