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

This clearly demonstrates the fact that some people shouldn't be allowed to use tools without supervision.

Jim, Sorry I was away for awhile. The truck is basically a stock TGB 11 with the original 24 volt electrics. I did upgrade the ignition with a 123 distributor. I got the 24 volt one from Sweden not the 12 volt. Yes I'm using the Tatanka replacement regulator with the three blade plug. All the wires ...

Many thanks. That's easy enough even for me to understand!

How do the original SEV Marchal green, red, black regulator wires relate to the Tatanka replacement regulator terminals Df, D+, D-. I got an extra three years out of the original regulator by hitting it with a heavy object every time it stopped working but even that fails me now.
Thanks

I hope to God this is somebody's automotive sculpture and not something they plan to hook a trailer to. It's hard to pick which weak point will fail first!!

Hello,
Are these still available? Can you offer any information regarding where they came from? What mileage? I sent you a couple of private messages but have not seen a response yet. I'm interested in buying a pair.
Thanks very much,
Rick

Sometimes it's idle entertainment scrolling through this forum to read other peoples stories. Sometimes I'm searching for information or solutions to a technical problem. And sometimes I get a laugh out of the odd ball photos of weird trucks.

Anyway, I get a lot out of this forum and realized it's ...

That's one of them fancy expensive foreign car tuners. My first car was a '37 Chevy with a rumble seat. The tuner for that one only had four buttons.

After driving (light use) the Volvo for a couple of years it developed a minor but annoying oil drip from behind the oil cooler. Nothing major and in hindsight I should have left it alone. I got 2 cooler seals from Tatanka as well as some extra water pipe seals and after moving those hoses and tubes ...

Is there any difference in the drum or cable attachment on the M8000 if you choose to use synthetic as opposed to wire?
Even though the shipping across country will be $$, I'm interested in that winch because it would be 100% American made.
Thanks, Rick

Vince,
In your opinion is it the right size for a stock C303 (not built out with a heavy interior and OVERloaded with gear)? Or is it really more winch than it needs?
Thanks, Rick

Jim made most of the points I was going to mention. In short, there's a lot that goes on engaging the front axle under different scenarios. My front axle button used to stick when I first got the truck.Maybe it hadn't been used much. Sometimes I had to wait until all the vacuum was bled off the ...

I will bet that there are as many answers to that question as there are people that respond. I took public transportation and hitch hiked (in my 60's) to pick up my C303 sight unseen and drove it back through four states with fake plates. I think I had a pair of vice grips, Leatherman style knife ...
