Yeah been looking at that for months now. He's listed it about 5 or 6 times. Unfortunately the drive is on the wrong side. Not impossible to get around by flipping rear wheel and making a slide for the rear brake etc. But add radiators etc etc and you'd be 1K deep. Starts getting uneconomical to the point you can pick one up for $2500-$3500 all good to go. Though it would be cool.

Actually working really well.

My battery is also well fuckered. @flyingbrick tested it for me and if it was an animal animal you'd be giving it one in the back of the head and down the offal hole... But im glad I have solid answers now.

Same as this one below. I paid $30 from ebay delivered. They normally take about 2-3 weeks to turn up. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005002038313820.html?albpd=en1005002038313820&acnt=494-037-6276&aff_platform=aaf&albpg=296904914040&netw=u&albcp=9444695485&sk=UneMJZVf&trgt=296904914040&terminal_id=01e04a3f896441319a8986b0c5d6e427&tmLog=new_Detail&needSmbHouyi=false&albbt=Google_7_shopping&_randl_currency=NZD&src=google&crea=en1005002038313820&_randl_shipto=NZ&aff_fcid=04dad6e041704aba9f52cc6d0d29e53b-1627360659756-04126-UneMJZVf&gclid=CjwKCAjwuvmHBhAxEiwAWAYj-PXmE_GE2ZlcgYNEUDXD9A-OJJLCMcLHfeL8GtrN9JAu7apK4HZF8hoCxsQQAvD_BwE&albag=99457316601&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&albch=shopping&albagn=888888&isSmbAutoCall=false&aff_trace_key=04dad6e041704aba9f52cc6d0d29e53b-1627360659756-04126-UneMJZVf&device=m&gclsrc=aw.ds

***Update: Swapped out battery, with a known good one from a mates tractor. Took it for a drive, pretty much same as last time...all good for 10 minutes, then no charge going on. So Swapped out alternator...problem gone. so it was the alternator that caused all my issues, just as I suspected. Cheers Mike - fucking legend for giving me an alternator for free!!

Milled slot to stop axle turning when tightening it. Other than that, I've been very unproductive of late.

So I'm pretty sure its a battery issue now. I couldn't start it today Even though it was charged to 100% a week ago, and I have a battery cut off switch that disconnects the battery when not in use. Battery shows this now. But prior to trying to start it was something like 95%. So yeah, think battery is fucked.

Soooooooo cool!!

I imagine these are fairly generic?

Ah, so the lack charge coming in definitely points towards alternator then eh. I found a refurbished one on rock auto for $33+$45 postage. I'll have a think about it, may look at upcoming swap meet too?
