THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Not as exciting as moving items on an aircraft carrier (yep - - we've seen that photo ...), but it pulls fine, even up the gravel ramp. Fun photo !!

After "restoring" with the bucket and sponge (cleaning) work, last week I decided to spring for the big bucks ($1,950) and have a new top made. I give it a 6 out of 10, but it is sweet having a complete enclosure again! It runs like a champ, even has a steady idle now (finally). Ethanol fr...

Great price .... since it comes with that spare quart of oil ....

Thanks for posting and adding details. Looks "like new" and has received a lot of $$ upgrades. Not in my league, tho ......

Cody,

Still looking for the parts? Let me know. I can dig through my factory boxes if needed. Better yet, let me know if shown in one of my photos.

FOLLOW-UP ON REPLACING MY DYNA-STARTER BELTS I had good success with my new belts and have some info to share: Both the original sized belts from ebay and the auto shop substitutes (photo shows the part number) fit well and were identical on the engine. With both of these options, I found that the b...

On my 6 passenger (long body) Haf, there is about 11 inches extra between the rear door hinges and the front door latches. This is compared to the Pathfinder that I sold, which has no room there. So the hoop just behind the roll bar has 2 horizontal cross members that go forward, but have no attachm...

I am still into my "restoration" (well ... ok ... buckets of soap and water, .... and PB Blaster). The doors show very little use and look factory new. Let me know if any of you need measurements or photographs of the doors, or the door components. It would be very easy for me to do at thi...

Anyone ? When I attempt to log in, it says it has been too long since my last activity, and that I need to "contact administrator" ........ and nowhere to find that particular information to establish a contact. Any help from anyone here at our portal site ?? Thanks in advance, Nelson Amen...

Replacement belts arrived in the mail. Also purchased what seems to be a good match at auto parts store. I will plan to install both sets in a couple of weeks and let all know about fit and function.

Now ..... if I could only find a hat like that !!!

Many thanks ! Mystery solved.

While topping off the 90W in the hubs, gearbox, and front dif, I noticed this plug near the top of the main tube about 8 inches back from the front flange. Looked like a fill port, so I pulled it. Using a wooden dowel, I found there was about 3/4 of an inch level of gear oil laying in the bottom of ...

Found on ebay at $8 each - - - THANKS ! Ordered this evening.

No luck searching the forums. The markings on my current belt (two) are:

9.5 X 813 La O U Semperit Made in Austria

Hopefully the brain trust here has info on an equivalent, or a resource for the originals.

Many thanks in advance,
