No primary use, only bought it dos I've always fancied one and I could. I do however have lots of people who could use me and a mog to shift farm stuff. I would also like to tow my ifor hence the requirement for a low hitch height.

In time I will most likely build myself a nice ~10T twin axle trailer on mini super singles. But for now I can borrow a wide variety of farm trailers obviously being aware of the nose weight.

Operating manual arrived today, what a fantastic read, couldn't ask for anymore information!

I will probably just try and get a height ajustable continental hitch that will get me somewhere near for trailers, and look to fabricate a linkage come PUH later on.

Has it got a linkage? I've got a huge tow hitch assembly that came off of mine, could save you some work. It's a big pin hitch but has a ball adaptor on it. I can take some photos if you're interested? It fits to the 3 point mounting holes.

A little more progress has been made.

Doghouse has new rubber clips, fuel tank steam cleaned and painted, halfway to new fuel lines, rear lights sorted and some other small jobs done, still waiting for my water pump to arrive.

After probing round the electrics getting the lights working my air brake warning light is now illuminated constantly even with the system up to pressure, any ideas? Also when the key switch is turned to position three the charge light on the dash illuminates surely this isn't right?

Cheers, Will.

The central light comes on when air presure is low fluid is low or there is an in balance between the two tanks ! As your trailer brakes are not connected  :)

When you say fluid is low do you mean brake fluid? Or is it a combined light for oil too? Reason I ask is that I've found mine stays on for a good few seconds, maybe even half a minute after starting. Tank pressure is right up at 7.5 bar usually.

Yes brake fluid , tank in balance is not shown in early mogs but your trailer tank will be the last one to fill that's why your light is a bit slow to go off, you will have a leak on the trailer side so drops overnight and is slow building up, all pretty normal.

Makes sense. My palm couplings do hiss very slightly sometimes. I'll get the soapy water out and try to pinpoint the issue so I can fix it.

I'm a little confused by the ign sequence.

I get:
Ign key pushed in- starter button works
Turned one click side lights and headlights
Turned second click- red alternator light illuminates.

Surely this isn't correct? When should the sidelights in the headlights and on the wings illuminate? ( I have power to them but only seems to be when the headlights are illuminated.)

Ignition key in : nothing
one click plus starter button : engine starts
2 clicks: side lights
3 clicks plus gentle push in : head lights

That's how the sequence should be :)
The fact that you can start yours with just the key slipped in makes me wonder if it's a 411 or lucas barrel?

After some more delving it appears the ign barrel has had some tampering, there are two poles that are live on one turn, both sidelights and headlights are wired to these, then a blue wire was on the sencond click live, this appears to be linked into the charge light in the instrument cluster. Waterpump should arrive tommoro fingers crossed.

Does anyone have an electronic copy of the wiring diagram?

Judging by the size of the restoration you are undertaking you could do with getting yourself a workshop manual Will

It's something I do need Nick  however times are hard at the moment, I have the operating manual which is invaluable but I could do with the electronic copy for the workshop. Fitted the new water pump last night and changed rear axle oils. It's slowly getting there...

Changing the various oils is something i need to do also. Out of interest how much oil did it take to fill the rear axle and did you use the same oil as the engine uses.
