Ah yes makes sense, no bolts at all in the old ones so nothing to go off, I have some washers off a 50 series deere cab mounts that will do the job nicely.

I will try and retrieve the tag with part number, they came off a mate who had them lying around for £20.

Ordered a water pump through Kramp, operators manual from Vos and some dog house rubbers and a switch top from South cave. (Switch top 3.25 vs 38 for a complete unit from vos) I made some light brackets off the chassis last night and mocked up some mud gaurds using tractor front fenders.

South cave were kind enough to give me a brief rundown of its factory build, DOKA, trailer air brakes, suffix G(?) 6 speed box and rockinger style hitch, sadly missing and short tray.

Are the rear of the chassis rails normally cut off square? Mine have a slight tapered cut upwards at the rear and the holes have been opened up gassing some bolts off, I will fill the holes but do I need to rebuild the chassis rails also? Do any of the attachments need the chassis after the rear X member?

Finally (for now haha) i have been looking at how to make a PUH for it, I notice the factory linkage mounts to the axle but if towing a trailer on a linkage based PUH does it not create a massive jacking effect on the overrun? And these forces won't be good for where the torque tube meets the gearbox will they? I notice VOS do a PUH that just looks like a frame to bolt to the chassis, is this the case? If so I don't fancy having a plough on the rear all the time.

Will. Wanders off to ponder....
