Re: oil in wheel drive

drained the rest of the axle drives today,oil poured out of one other filler plug,checked oil levels in the diff units,oil poured out of level plug on 2 units,same 2 as axle drives,so I am assuming it was an over fill problem.is this a correct assumption?

Re: oil in wheel drive

Your could take the clamp off the larger diameter on the yellow boot and see if oil comes out and also take the axle holding bolt out and see iff oil comes out there also.

Could it have been overfilled?

I got piccies of most the innards

I will update when the bits arrive as I want to ensure it fits neatly

Re: Fiat wheels on a Haflinger

A daft question as I Liked this thread.

Re: How much does your TD smoke?

this one is smoking like a steam locomotive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymKeVcHR ... r_embedded but it aint normal.

clean fuel filters and the tank out, and injectors, injection pump and should improve dramatically.

they are not the cleanest engine though

Re: Thor movie

Just guessing it must be a fictional movie :wink:

Re: TD Windshield frame measurements

Will do the tape measure tomorrow as just got back and am jetlagged to hell.
