Default Strippng

Donor number 2 almost stripped.

Just the rear subframe assembly & Fuel tank to remove.

I forgot how much fun it was removing the loom (not).

Looking forward to the fun bit.

Air chisel & sthil saw are coming out to play. I may even let Bertie the burner have a coming out party.

Most of the crap is loaded in the truck. It'll all be gone by the weekend I hope.

Jas. I'll inspect the diff & driveshafts once they are removed. I will have a clearer idea as to what I will have spare.

Default Idiot or what !!??

I forgot to mention.

There I was pulling at the propshaft like a madman, swearing and cursing (as you do). Just could'nt get it to pull out of the gearbox.

It then hit me, it's a MT75 box & the prop is bolted on.

Fabby, I have removed the Middle box. I'll drop it up to you next time I go up the breakers.

Cheers Ronnie!!
I made the same mistake when trying to remove the prop, it seperated in the middle Just when I was using all my might, and i ended up facing the sky in a puddle of silage effluent... Bad times
Cheers again Ronnie
