Not really sure yet... I think it's been converted to 12 - the batteries don't seem to be connected, and it has a winch. Another question I didn't ask when I was going gooey eyed looking at, rather than thinking with my head! (that approach might also explain why I'm a single dad!Hi and welcome! 2 batteries, is it still 24v?
any ideas on the hosing I need (see attached pic) The lower hose has a split developing. (sorry, this is such a basic question I know!)
Slight grinding on full lock from the power steering. No idea if that's bearings, steering rack, pump, other things - thats above my pay grade so will need to get that looked at... though judging from the pics there's a definite difference between each side!
Thank you Marjon!As you have a non standard engine and made up hoses, by the looks of it. Take the hose off and go to your frendly motor factor, go through his hoses and find 1 that is the right size and has the right bend. then cut off the bit you need. You may find 1 hose that would do both your bends just by cutting it in half.
Dont right yourself off so easy.
They dont have a rack the have a steering box.
As for the look of your swivels "yep they all look like that sir", its the swivel ball seals. The grinding could be a UJ (which is inside the "ball".
Jack up the front wheels and wiggle the steering look for slack in all the joints that move.
Give each wheel a turn and wiggle.
Get a manual.
