Are the Chatham islands somewhere deep in Africa? Hard to believe something so modern can get so shagged

I have rust holes right through the chassis of my 2007 Land Cruiser V8 ute - which has only been here since 2016.

This yellow truck is basically concourse.

Sometimes you can move the spool by hand by pushing on the end of this with a screw driver etc.

I could be 100% wrong, but that is part of the electric spool. its solid and will have an iron core in there , apply power, the coil energizes and pulls the core which is connected/part of the spool. 
I have zero idea why it has 2 coils though , thats a new one.

That oil tank and pump assembly is found in tailgate lift assemblies. like im sure i can make a palfinger mark on the tank. not important right now but might help in the future.

*Edit* now I've seen the deck up I pretty confident while you can't actuate it from the coil end you def can from the other end with that ghetto... I mean sweet return spring set up. At least you can manually activate from there and see what happens

Is the open fitting the tipper ram?

Yes sir. A new/repaired hose will probably be ready by the weekend... as may be a new clutch hose. 

The future looks bright

There's so many hoses simply joined to each other it's hard to be certain, but you could be very right @rusty360., but I think the armoured 'P' on the right of the screen is actually the tank filler hose that comes down from the Hiab tank.

I am told that the tipper worked two years ago, and no-one has touched the hoses since, so the plan is to sort the clutch, replace the failed pressure hose to the tipper ram, and then start deleting redundant pipework once I know the tipper works. With that approach - if I fuck something up I know I fucked it up the same day, and not something someone else did two years prior

Now the deck is up I can see the 24v pump is completely stand-alone. It doesn't connect to anything we can see in the photos. The two (smallish) hydraulic hoses from the 24v pump are just connected together under the front of the cab.. I'll remove it and keep it as it'll come in handy for something. @Transom was correct that the 24v pump would have just been for broom lift.

In fairness: Whomever did the hydraulic work did a pretty good job.

Sounds like a great plan!

Sorry for slow posts and edits. Chatham internet is not swift. :-)

 

So far I'm into the project a few interesting hours, $750 for batteries, $150 for Hiab lift, $400 for bundy tube.... and I guess $400 for hose repairs. Add some extra dollars for hydraulic oil, brake fluid and a few more days effort and we may have a fucked truck that actually goes. JOY!

@Hemiits a strange one re the two coils alright. Maybe its one coil is for up and the other is down, the spool just moves a bit further out to let the oil return?

Did you see the 'things' on the inside of the chassis too? I think they are for the Hiab.
