Back to the top with some new information that was handed to me by a worker at a business that I inquired about changing linings :- which they don't recommend. It seems that because they don't know the hardness of the original linings they won't supply anything different than standard. And these...

Good to see you here. Dan.

I'm there as well. Canters are very capable. What is shown there is only some of what we have done as a lot is not filmed just driven over. In Qld. if it over 4.5 tonnes (metric ton) it is a commercial vehicle even if privately used and must have a yearly pit inspection. Dan.

Alan's Alloys. From mounting surface :-up 55mm is 350mm Dia. - up 120mm is 350 Dia so parallel. Slight step out in diameter then tapered to 390mm at bead at 210mm out from mounting surface. Dan.

Great trip, Great story and I really think now your Dad understands the joys of being "Out There". Dan.

That is certainly interesting. Dan.

As said 3/4" and 7/8" rated hard shackles. Yes a Canter bogged to the chassis is going to take some pulling out. The figure three times your loaded gross weight is near enough so the idea is to start your recovery before you bury it that far. Snatch Blocks rated high enough are a hard one to...

Care to put a date for your trip to "The Tip". Looks like we are heading up that way again in Early August with some adventure in mind. Dan.

I'd wash it under the truck even if you used a pressure washer to blast from one end to the other. Then use a rag on a broom stick to dry as much water out that you can and wash down with some petrol to get rid of the rest of the moister. Job done on a nice warm day. Dan.

It certainly has had some pieces go between the crown wheel and pinion. May be a pinion bearing has collapsed. Little use and a lot of sitting around is good for moister buildup and in the long run bearings don't like that. You would need to do some more exploring into that. If by chance you did...

I wondered where my dads endless chain block went. Dan.

Good to hear that you have it working. Dan.

Since I had to find this thread I will give a little update. My Canter now has done just under 40,000K's on the gears and all is going well. What more can I say - I enjoy driving it and we use it as a run around instead of the Landcruiser. Dan.

That is my look at it as well. Though I would hate to lose my Canter, it is a possession and I have an emotional attachment, losing it would hit my pocket. It is not the end of the world if everyone walks away. That is why I'm not afraid to use it where and how I do and drive it to get to unreal...

Sorry but none of my manuals cover the vacuum shift so I would say you have to go back to basics. Check all fuses in fuse box in the centre of dash. Relays are behind glove box. I would find the solenoid units and check for current there first. Pull the switch out of the dash and check it, check...

Rear springs really look they can do with some work. Truck looks good but then it is a "Canter".

Need a bit more info. Is it a cable shift transfer case and you are having problems with the switch that works the dash lights (this is mounted on the transfer case) or it a vacuum shift and you are having trouble with the dash switch that operates the vacuum solenoid for the vacuum shifters on...

Not smokey at all, Egts can run into the low 600° preturbo under load below 2000 rpm. Feeding in extra fuel will probably take me back to the trouble I had before with the first turbo as in over fueling at too low a boost. Dan.

Fuel pickup is restricted somehow in the tank causing extra suction on the line and it will be sucking air in at one of the fittings in the line to the primer pump. Fix the pickup and just check all the other fittings are tight and you should be right. It then shouldn't be down on power from...

Nothing visibly wrong with the ported cover but could only get 6psi max boost, change to unported cover and boost in the 10/11psi no other change. Now this is all with waste gate wired shut as we are still looking for more boost. I'm seeing drive pressure up into the early 20s with a boost...
