PTO was for running all kinds of implements. The Land Rover was used by farmers as secondary agricultural tractor. They were used to run conveyor belts in the barns, running water pumps for irrigation, etcetera. After the war, people had no money, or materials, to buy another tractor. So the family hauler doubled up as working vehicle. I've seen photos of small construction cranes, vertical soil drills, winches, fruit presses, wood chopping attachments, all sorts of things driven by those PTOs.
the common attachment was a saw bench
Just like the Model T just a few decades before that!
I had a sales brochure from back in the 60s showing all tne imp.ements that could be attached to these vehicles. My dad had the longer wheelbase 63 model with a detachable canvas canopy . Outback Australia....
The old flat fender jeeps had PTOs as well, and all kinds of attachments, even a backhoe
It's Brit rust-proofing, which as we all know the Brit stuff desparately needed. That's not an oil drip, it's just marking its territory.
Wait! The British have rust proofing? 😅
@@geek49203 id keep that original I bet there isn't many left it is a nice looking British buggy
One would think the British would be the world leaders in heaters and wipers, but no you would be so terribly wrong....
@@Colinpark They virtually invented the modern steel industry, you'd think that the second day they'd invented steel that didn't rust?
🇬🇧🇬🇧😎👍
Field trip is a must!
That engine looks good. Crankshaft front is the starter dog for hand cranking. When I bought my first one at 17, I was so broke could not afford a new battery, so had to hand crank it on dates sometimes. Some LR ran a Capstan winch off the front of the crank. The back of the Transfer case can be used to power a front or back PTO or you can mount a overdrive (Look up Roamer Overdrive). I have had 3 of them, my current one is a 1968 109 ex BATUS (British Army). I did rebuild one of them using a Ser 2a bellhousing (super strong clutch release mech) with a Ser III transmission and then a Suffix B transfer case which has a lower geared low range, coupled with a Overdrive. That rad is not a stock rad for a 2A, it's a Ser III rad, which is all you can get nowadays. If he has the original gearbox, it might have the smaller layshaft that was replaced at some point. Don't use synthetic gear oil, while it will make the transmission run great, it will leak out of the gearbox quickly (ask me how I know). The only thing I changed on my current truck is the wiring, most of the original system is not fused and is poorly thought-out. You can get almost any part you need from Craddocks in the UK. As for the ride, he can get Rocky Mountain parabolic springs and softer tires. But 88" Landrover always had a rough ride and pitched more than the long wheel based ones. First gear is straight cut, the rest are helical. You need to double clutch coming down from 4 to 3 and 2nd. I think he may have to temper his expectations on how he drives it. It's drives like a WWII-Korean war Jeep. Other than that, a sweet looking truck. Remember British electrics run on smoke, if the smoke escapes they stop. Lucas switches have 3 settings, Dim, Flicker and Smoke. Lucas made vacuum cleaners, it was their only product that did not suck. The reason the British drink warm beer is because they use Lucas refrigerators. As you can tell I have a "Love/Hate relationship" with my Landrovers, also own a 2006 RR L322 with the excellent 4.4 Jaguar/Ford engine.
I was thinking he's trying a lil too hard to be downshifting something like this when being used to driving Porsche's. These are old, non-sychro transmissions, you're not just dropping gears like that. Cool rigs though!
You're spot on Colin, thanks for sharing.
3rd to 4th and 4th to 3rd are syncro, but all others are double clutch territory. If he can't shift 2nd to 1st as he says, then he's got no hope of shifting high to low range or low to high on the fly. That sorts the men from the boys.
YES to the field trip!
Yeah... more like a tractor transmission than a modern truck seems like by the description. And even many modern tractors have syncro. But I certainly have several with old school hi/low and shifting that doesn't play nice like the newer models
the bricklayer part spoke to me; my grandpa was a bricklayer and whenever i rode around with him he would point out all the houses he bricked 30+ years prior, remembered every job, and really took pride in his work. he and my dad taught me the value of fixing things, creating, and working with your hands. i really respect what you guys do! thanks for the content!
One of the best trades. The men in my family are bricklayers (until me...), I miss seeing proper masonry now I've moved to Canada
Dave...Don't forget about us Engineers and Physicists.
We contribute but most of us can't work with our hands.
That is why we need people like you.
Thanks for pointing that out👍. Love to talk with the great minds of engineers and physicists. Skills I admire greatly
Series 2a - no syncromesh on 1st or second gear. Only 3rd and 4th. 2nd gear is constant mesh with dogs. 1st gear is a direct mesh straight cut. It's not too hard to down shift to second with double clutching, if you get to know the car, double clutching down to 1st isn't too hard.
Also the transmission input shaft wont have an oil seal, it has a wet throw out bearing with an archimedes screw on the input shaft. It will always leak a bit of gear oil.
Now that is a real Land Rover!
Your utube channel is getting you in the big time meeting different people
That is true Chuck, very fortunate to have this opportunity. Thanks for watching
Land Rovers are the best! As a young kid growing up in England in the 60's we 'counted' Land Rovers every time we were in the car. About the only think better than a Land Rover for us was a Unimog. In 1969, just before we moved to Canada, my parents bought a brand new Rover 2000 TC left hand drive to bring over with us. We picked it up at the factory and we got a tour of the production line, which was a highlight for a 9 year old kid. They had two test tracks at the factory, one paved and one off-road one. They took us for a tour around the paved on in the Rover. Of course we wanted to go around the other one in a Land Rover. We got half our wish, they took us round the paved track in a Land Rover! Was never able to get my own Land Rover, didn't quite have the cash to buy a nice pickup truck one when I was 17 (speaking of vehicles that got away). We did get into Mini's pretty heavily in the 70's. I'll be interested in following along as you go over this vehicle. Please don't skimp on the details for us! (Oh, and that's for a hand starting crank on the front pulley).
I didn’t know Land Rover made pickup trucks. Also how can a company charge so much money for a vehicle and they still can’t engineer something that can last through the warranty
Austin champion, hold my beer!
A great monologue Dave. I am a UK based motor engineer who's working history goes back to 1971. Today I am known as the dinosaur engineer!
I am extremely proud of my engineering background, what I have learned, seen and what I have achieved over the last 53 years. I have the scars and arthritis in my hands to prove it.
I have some youngsters in the motor trade over here who laugh at me from time to time but give them a 1948 six cylinder semi side valve that won't run and they think a laptop scanner will tell them what's wrong!😂😂
As you so rightly suggest, skills like those we have learned and nurtured over the decades are gradually being lost and forgotten. Time we turned the tide and tried to pass on our knowledge before we retire to the great workshop in the sky? Take care fella and keep up the great work. . our industry needs you!! David P - Hertfordshire UK
First and second are not supposed to be synchronized on a 2A. Yes that's the overdrive in the back of the transfer case. Yes that's for the PTO output on the rear crossmember. I didn't see the front of the crank but there should be a starter dog on there for the hand crank starter
Yeah it's there he showed it for a second and asked to tell what it was in the comment section. 👍🏻🛠️
Not an overdrive fitted there, the housing sandwiched between the transmission brake backplate and rear of the transfer case is the speedo drive housing. The Fairey overdrive unit fitted in the same position when fitted as an optional extra was approximately 10 inches in length, speedo drive housing was around 3 inches, that’s what you’re seeing very fleetingly.
That is a Fairey overdrive. The w I'll be an extra lever on the gearbox tunnel@@williamcunningham9819
Dave you're so right about needing more folks in the skilled trades. But if we also had more people with your common sense, insight, vision and passion for doin things right and for treating others well, our country would lack absolutely nothing. Thanks for leading the way!👍
Very kind of you, thanks for taking the time to write an uplifting message to me
Not only in the USA ! I work in engineering and the majority of us are in our 50’s 😂 Young people these days prefer to drive computers ! 😂
Some top tips - check all of the breathers on transmission / axles. They get blocked, then the pressure blows out the seals. Folk fit new seals and they still leak! Also the front swivels should be full of oil on an axle that old, but grease is fine and is less prone to leaking out.
What a beautiful Land Rover. Immaculate.
Love field trips, especially to see fine cars....
The stars are aligned. It's meant to be. This meeting is no accident. The heavens have spoken. A field trip is a must!
Another awesome trip thru the shop with the cuttin edge equipment and skilled craftsmen. Truly a treat 😊 I love the last two trailers that were shown in the vids. Thanks Dave and crew
Glad you enjoyed it
Sweet old Land Rover. I used to have a series IIA, a long time ago. Good luck with finding parts!
Hey Dave, I'm a Land Rover guy, and I recently discovered your channel and loving it!
I work for one of the bigger Land Rover independents in South Africa and I manage the workshop.
Post as many videos of this job, would love to see your take on the repair. If you do rebuild the gearbox post those too.
Reach out to me, I can help with manuals and parts catalogues for the gearbox and engine.
Also post some videos of that old Range Rover I always see in the background of your videos, looks like the old spec with the BMW M62 engine.
Even if you just mention what repair it's in for in another video, I love seeing other people's take on repairs, especially if I know the product well.
Cheers,
Rory!
Gotta love when people find Dave and are like, "Dave's my spirit animal."
I see the manual crank start. Yes, to a field trip!!
Mr. Dave you have such an awesome place, and working with your hands, at least for me is super satisfyingly, and rewarding! especially when I work on my Vette.
Dave, you are truly blessed. We need more people like you.
I've never seen a Land Rover that old I never knew they went back that far it is a nice looking classic a trip to see rare and nice cars that is always a great field trip
Land Rover started volume production of the original MK1 in 1948, so that makes this example a teenager!
@@paulbennett274 I don't know if its true, or the correct %, but I was always told that something like 80% of LR's that rolled off of the line, are still on the road. LR, not Range Rover though!
Always good to take the opportunity to see something different, it’s better if you take a friend with you, but don’t pass up the opportunity.
This is the best show on television. Keep em coming Dave!
The gearbox is half crash and half synchromesh. You need to double declutch between first and second going up. Down double declutch and blip the throttle between third to second and second to first.
It looks and sounds great!
I love the videos I tell you if I was 40 years younger I would love to work at your shop with all the stuff you have I think you have one of the best TH-cam videos out there bottom line you and the boys keep them coming
Field trip! Also, can we get a nice medium length video of tyson working on this thing! Would love more content like that. The techs getting their hands dirty!
Thanks for the feedback! We will try and incorporate that. Tyson is an amazing mechanic
My dad had a series 2a station waggon long wheelbase version with if I remember correctly a 2.3 or 2.6 litre engine. I spent a few days in the snow outside grinding in the side valves when we did a engine top end rebuild. Many a long distance holiday trip with all 6 of us and a 2.5 ton trailer often needed to be thoroughly thrashed to get up hills. Here in the UK it eventually rusted the chassis to oblivion especially the rear cross member so much so that it and parts of the main chassis rails had to be replaced. It was a 1970 vehicle. Dad used to drive it to work some 300 miles away and as the heater was broken he would drive with a blanket over his legs which he did for five years. It never over heated but the rear wheel bearings often felt very warm when we stopped but no oil leaks as I remember on this one. That doesn't look like oil leaks to me although I would think there are many. Looks like a rustoil coating on everything so there should be little or no chassis or running gear rust. Leaks as I remember on these things were very much down the middle with engine oil eventually dripping off the gearbox casing.
A thing of beauty
Yes sir Dave. If the customer is good with it a field trip to see his collection of toys would be amazing. It’s good to see people excited and committed to keeping old things restored to their original glory.
The front pulley is for hand cranking. hence the hole in the middle of the front bumper to slide the hand crank through.
Hi Dave,
The thing on the fromt of the crank is a Hand cranking lug.
He overdrive is located in the rear PTO location and yes, there are many options for use with Land Rovers.
Ive owned many over the last 40 years including the 2 current series short wheel bese models and a stable of Range Rovers.
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Love your channel and am looking forward to seeing more on this beautiful red beast.
Thank you for setting up this TH-cam channel and share your life experiences past and present.
What an honor Sir.
May God Almighty keep you healthy and happy and blessed.
You as well. Appreciate that
I came from the British Army infantry 1986 to 1995. I drove these vehicles in The Falkland Island, Canada, America, Croatia, Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi, Germany and of course the UK. In Bosnia we had the whole front windows shot out driving down the road. My driver was covered in glass bleeding pretty badly i leaned over him and steered as he kept his foot on the gas peddle, until we made it out of the contact area. That truck ran with coolant and oil leaking everywhere it held it together back to the base. 2 days later the REME had it bolted back together for what we called soft patrol duties.
Mine is ex-BATUS, so who knows you might have driven mine!!
I had the long wheel base LR V8, 3.9 litre, 90 hp, in Banja Luka. It pulled like a train and could go from 0 to 100 mph in 5th... But it drank juice... As I turned up one Sunday for new spark plugs, the REME fitters spent some time making sure it ran well.... I lived outside the wire and always treated the support staff well and they repaid me well too... Happy days!
Great story thanks for the share
@@DavesAutoCenterCenterville Also the ignition coil is constant 12v and the voltage to it is not stepped down. If you replace the coil make sure it's for a Landrover, otherwise it will fail soon if you use a domestic one.
@@ColinparkI’ve seen some of those with the frame shaped like a “V” trying to keep up with the Warriors and Challenger tanks during live firing. 😂😂😂
That’s amazing! I’d love to own a Land Rover from this era. I drove various defenders and a few Series III in my army days.
Military land rovers ( at least some ) had a leather? boot on the front drive shafts. The ball was prone to pitting then leaking I believe.
Dad would hand crank the landy here. The crank handle had seen so much action that it was bent. That was before we rebuilt the engine top end of course. Bottom end and rings seemed very good for it age and my dad as an engineer would have decided not to do the rest of the engine because he didn't think it cost effective. It ran another 7 years before he brought something else so he must have known it was okay.
Yes, you’ve got to double-declutch on the way down and they will shift down just fine…. Awesome 2A - keep it going
The original series Land Rovers like this were know as "The Farmers Best Friend" and had PTO's to run various equipment. This is the vehicle that put the UK back on its feet after WWII. Originally built from surplus aircraft aluminum and green paint. Like the Willys Jeep they were tough as nails and real work horses.
Field Trip.... hell yes!
Ha Dave. Once you get past all the jokes about oil leeks. First thing I would check is that the oil breathers are clear and working if there not then you won’t keep the oil in. It’s a very over looked item.
That’s a very nice land rover love to see more. 👍 Bob.
The nub on the crank is for a hand crank starter you stick through the grille. We redid the complete steering/suspension on a 73 model here at our shop!
Being that it doesn't have syncromesh gears, you double clutch when you shift. That's old school! Why don't you know that, Dave? Try that before you take the transmission out. Sheeesh!
Dave it’s definitely time for one of your Dave’s Great Man Cave Adventures. I can’t wait to see that new car collection. I once worked on a fantastic 1976 Scout. It had a beautiful huge big block V8 the heads sat so tall and high on that motor. It was either a 345 or 392 V8. A very sweet so quiet running monster sized V8. You could put a glass of water on the air breather and never a ripple would be seen. How I wish I bought one. They were so amazing so well built. Dave please keep your amazing channel running. It’s so wonderful to see old fashioned values of doing right and doing everything proper as it should be. God Bless You Dave and your family and your team of fantastic technicians. 👍👍👍🙏
more of this series land rover please!
Field trip, field trip, field trip.
yes, on the field trip 👍👍
You nailed it Dave. PTO. That truck is basically a tractor. Surprised by 10 ply tires? I would have been surprised if there WEREN'T 10 ply tires on it. I would totally own one of those.
DAVE and his crew will make it right!
Wow what a beautiful car, awesome opportunity came, you can service his cars. Congratulations. God is good.
It has an overdrive at the back of the transfer case. To use a PTO you’d need to give up the overdrive unit.
That’s a nice Landy!
I knew a guy who had a Landy with a factory Capstan Winch mounted on the front bumper, the drive for the winch came from the front engine pulley. Simple and effective = Land rover.
People bolted either the Holden 186 cubic inch (3 litre) or 202 cubic inch (3.3 litre) Holden sixes into them in Australia because they were readily available 50+ years ago & fitting them was cheaper than rebuilding the original 2.25 litre diesel or petrol (gasoline) fuelled engines as well as the 2.6 litre Land Rover engine.
That gave the Land Rovers better fuel consumption & better off road & highway driveability, that conversion made it more suitable for Australian driving conditions where we do a lot of kilometres.
I know in my town the Kelly family who have moved now were in the Land Rover club 40 years ago & they would keep their Land Rovers all original.
Another person in my town was into Leylands,he was a Leyland P76 fanatic, the car was designed well apart from the knobs which fell off the climate control & Radio when driven in the harsh Australian conditions !
The love of the British of pressed metal covers and cork gaskets.
Ladies and Gents, we're watching the birth of a very promising brotherhood here. can't wait
Beautiful Rover.
The front of the crankshaft is a crank starter
I set myself a bucket list challenge of chasing down every oil leak in my Defender. This weekend is the last one - fuel pump manifold gasket, then I can sell it. Weighing up if I should advertise the fact that it doesn't leak... people might think there's something wrong with it.
This man is so wholesome he reminds me of me , we respect mechanics like others respect doctors🎉
The nugget on the back of the transfer case is the overdrive unit, inside its got a synchro hub and gears from I think the series 1 Landrover third gear, flipped so that what was 4th ( top gear ) is direct drive but shift into overdrive and the units running 3rd gear the opposite way giving the step up ratio-overdrive.
It fits in the transfer case by using a co-axial drive arrangement, take out the main transfer gear off the tailshaft of the main box, and fit the special sleeve , it’s got a bearing face and a spline on the end. The overdrive has a single big gear sticking out that meshes with the middle case gear and an internal bearing that runs on the sleeve, and takes it drive from the spline on the sleeve end.
The place it’s fitted was intended to be for a Power Take Off as Dave says. One version goes out through the hole at the back with a tractor spline, there’s a fire pump type, and Dad used to drive one of a fleet of crop sprayers with the spray pump driven from that pto, just had to remember to de-clutch the pto before reversing because the pump couldn’t turn backwards and would die instantly, which meant a long slow drive back to the depot to repair.
Landrover made a second pto that fitted on the side plate of the transfer case for heavy duty machinery, a driveshaft could run to the front or back, or by hydraulics. Many electric utility companies used them for driving a big front winch for pole work and positioning mains power transformers.
The diffs are the same as the early seventies RangeRover, but lower geared.
And yes, we called it ‘automatic chassis lubrication’ they dropped so much oil.
Definitely want to see the rebuild of this engine and transmission.
Hi Dave. You should also find a slotted tooth in the front of the crank. for a crank/starting handle. Just in case the battery was dead during the winter.. And you were correct on series 2's you had the option for running a PTO for small farm equipment back in the day. Thanks for the great content.
There is a special crankshaft nut to allow the connection of a starter handle to manually start the engine (petrol only). Note also the slot in the bumper to allow the handle to pass through. The holes in the chassis crossmembers are indeed for a PTO. There were both splined and pulley options which would bolt onto the rear crossmember where the tow hitch usually is
Hi Dave, thx for the short tour of your shop, and I am also just as old as the Land Rover. I agree hole heartedly with you about the fact that there are to little people nowadays who are learning a trade that requires working with your hands! So it’s the same story over here in Holland(Europe). In the days that I was learning my trade as flight engineer we were always joking about the english cars and British Standard Whitworth tread wich was the main cause of English engine blocks leaking oil! Cheers m8!
Hi Dave, ive owned a land rover for 20 years, a 1958 series 2. infact it was my first car which i still own, currently in the process of rebuilding it with a new galv chassis. its normal for it to grind into 2nd gear mostly, youve got to double clutch it into 2nd from either 1st or 3rd. But rebuilding the gearbox isnt the worst idea and cant do no harm! good luck chasing them oil leaks haha ive been trying for 20 years and im sure ill be here for another 20 trying to stop them! You can get dipsticks for the transfer box so you can check the levels but lifting the middle seat up and looking at it! have fun with it!
Also, I’m pretty sure that when you put an overdrive onto the transfer box, you can’t run things off the PTO. And if you want to know what kind of things the PTO powered just do a google search. Manufactures did pretty cool stuff when they cared about agriculture and where their food came from! A bit different to these days that’s for sure!
You are correct, you can run a PTO on the rear and front on some vintage land rovers.
This customer would be a fun guy to hang out with. Dude has half a dozen classic Porsches and just recently bought a new one. I would love to be set financially like this man is.
Dave, I really enjoy your videos. The Land Rover hit a nerve. I've got a 68 Nissan Patrol sitting in a barn that I have been meaning to work on. Only 2000 imported into the USA. Datsun/Nissan let Land Cruiser take the SUV market and brought in a ton of 240Z cars. Amazing how much of the underside of the Rover looks like my "Troll". Anyhow, great job. You look like a wonderful guy to work for.
These videos seem so short. Dave leaves us with blue balls.
G’day from Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺
That device on the front of the engine is a starter dog.
My family owned two ex-Australian army 6 cylinder Series 3’s which had a hand crank option that I maintained.
I was only a kid when I started using the hand crank so I would stand on the front bumper then start it with my foot using my body weight which is the best and safest way even for adults.
Beware if you try to hand crank one actually using your hands as they have been known to kick back so violently that they break wrists and shins if they are out of tune, so I would only ever recommend they are hand crank started with the foot and bodyweight method.
It is a great option to have the hand crank in case you are in an off road situation with a bad starter motor or a flat battery especially if you are in a place like outback Australia.
As long as your battery has enough charge to power the ignition system and your engine is in good tune then it should hand crank start just fine but again be really careful.
The device on the back of the transmission is an overdrive which is almost certainly a ‘Fairey overdrive’ which were well known for being so weak they will break if you even try to accelerate at highway speed.
Apparently they could only reliably be any good for coasting along on a flat highway with no payload let alone for use while towing anything.
If I owned the vehicle I would remove that overdrive immediately throw it away.
I now happen to own an ex-Australian army Land Rover Perentie 6x6 that also has an overdrive which it uses to drive the third axle when in 6 wheel drive or the PTO winch it has fitted to the front of it.
It doesn’t have a hand crank option unfortunately as it’s factory fitted with an Isuzu Turbo Diesel 4BD1T which is a really great engine that I would love to see you do an episode on.
I love your channel Dave,
Regards,
Shanon.
A real Land Rover for sure, I learned to drive in a series 2A here in England not far from the factory where it was built (mine had a roof though). No synchro between 1 & 2 so I learned to double de-clutch from the start !!!
Dave is such a golden soul.....
EX vet UK ,used to drive series 2a and series III all the time , great off roader .
That’s a crank starter, Dave! It probably has the handle somewhere in the boot-y!
Old Land Rovers don’t leak oil they sweat power! 😁 That’s one immaculate series 2A. Great video, thanks. Best wishes from the French Alps, Colin. 👍
The first item you pointed at is Starting handle dog on the crank. The crank handle should be behind the seats clipped against the panel. You’re right about the second it’s the PTO
Gotta love the old school hand crank for starting the motor That other part you referring to on the back of the transfers case is the PTO drive for different accessories
That’s a Series 2 Landrover Dave, the 2A had the headlights moved from the grille to the wings but LRNA might have different Series Landies to ours in the UK. Really like your Chanel Dave, best regards.
No, it’s an early series 2a. 1958 to 1961 was the series 2 and then the 2a came out which had some small changes like the front panel and head lights… the 2a went from 1961 to 1971 but at the end of the 60s the UK government required all vehicles to have head lights on the corners I believe which is why some late series 2a have the lights in the same position as the series 3. Even know they had the lights in wings they still had the metal dash and wire grill.
The Land Rover series 2s and 2a were some of the best land rovers ever produced with strong gearbox’s and chassis made from more superior steel which is why many are still running around with original chassis. I’ve got a 1960 series 2 in my garage which has the original chassis and bulkhead and a 1964 2a which also has the original chassis and bulkhead… then British leyland got involved which is why the series 3s rotted out quicker…. Cost cutting! 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Like the longer form content
Enjoy the channel
Land Rovers occupied many hours for me years ago. I worked across the North East of England reboring them usually on farms. The Van Norman 777 was my tool of choice but it was always a struggle getting it centred on No4 cylinder. As for the oil leaks they came as standard from the factory.
PTO can be used for winch or hydraulic pump which can be connected to log splitters, small cranes, cherry pickers, etc.
Some of them came with PTO snow blowers that were towed but most were fitted with front and rear PTO winches
Dave working with your hands hit home for me I have been working with my hands my whole life as a mechanic and fabricator I work at the Chelsea proving grounds in Chelsea Michigan I work in the impact lab we crash cars love it great job I picked this career because when I was younger it just came easy and I liked it still do I don’t work on my own cars much but I have tractors side-by-side’s lawnmowers I love working on that stuff or making things out of metal aluminum using a mill CNC machine😅
Enjoyed your video have a great day.
We all need to see this guys man cave Dave...
Luv the channel and your life advice watch from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
It's for a mechanical winch which can be mounted on the rear. It was widely used in the British forces in the deserts for recovery
Yes Sir Dave a field trip is a a must
Pto in my army ran a genny, water-pump, winch and plenty other uses. In Tanzania they could hitch up implements for harrowing and raking.
My friends had an old Land Rover. It had a front PTO. From memory, there was another lever to engage the PTO , near the transfer case lever, it had either a yellow or red knob . 🇦🇺
The lever with a red knob is the transfer case high/low ratio selector. The rod with a yellow knob you push down to engage 4wd when you're in high ratio (low ratio is always 4wd automatically). To get it out of 4wd in high ratio you shift the red knob lever to low ratio (yellow knob rod pops up again), then back to high ratio.
If there's an overdrive fitted, there's another lever for that.
I don't know how the PTOs engaged/disengaged.
Hello, from your dutch follower. Yes please, a field trip to see those Porsches. Just love your content. And show more of that Landrover. Let us know more about your history with Porsche.
Yes only the series 3's had synchro on second and first. That's a lovely series 2a. I had a 1960 series 2 that was just on the cusp of the 2a it had a number of 2a touches but more 2's and given the build date it was designated a series 2. The 2.25 three bearing petrol is a lovely Rover engine, plenty of parts are available here in the UK and there are a few good shops that specialise in working on these vehicle and supplying parts if needed. Try Atlantic British if you find you need any parts. I certain they can supply oil seals for both engine and the transmission both gearbox and transfer box. Yes Dave that's a PTO . Usually used to run a saw bench via a flat belt drive that fitted to the rear of the chassis back rail all driven by another drive shaft( we still call them prop shafts lol) the Land Rover was designed to be the farmers friend all over the British Empire. They say that 70% of all Land Rovers made are still in existence ( but not the crap made from 2000 onwards!
Field Trip!!!! 😎
Miss my 66 scout, 79 Bronco Ranger XLT Midas Touch, and my 84 Ranger v6 4speed.
That's an awesome ride
I love it.
I want to sign up for the field trip!
11:00 That "PTO" would be a propeller, so you propel it in water when you inflate the pontunes. The propeller shaft connected up to it. And don't forget to add a snorkel. I had a friend who had one of these and all the components. We scooted on the lake with it one day. A blast.
