AndyFowler Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hello Mike , amazing collection of photos and thanks for taking the time to share them ! Could you tell me have you reposted the one of your cab rebuild using the PTO off your Landrover as I'd like to show it to my dad as he asked me today what the hole in the rear of the chassis is for ! I hope I'm right in telling him the PTO runs through it ! Hope Andi's Explorer is progressing well ! I have a fuel tank which I bought as a spare not sure about leaks as its never been filled by me ! But if you're really stuck let me know ! Andy F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Series one with rear Capstan winch bolted to the PTO. (and using the Bottom Hydaraulic power takeoff to run the logsplitter, here driving pivot pins into the ball ends of a Unipower front axle) and driving a sawbench from the rear PTO, by bolting on the Rear flat belt pulley.
