8000 LB Thomas winch with PTO shaft
was last on a LandCruiser, a 40 I think but was many years ago, so information may be incorrect

Ha we've used one of those heaters heaps at bbqs n stuff. Never realised thats what they were actually for :oops: They put out a crap load of heat and are better than patio heaters, minus the risk of burns on them.

Hey Keith, your not throwing out all of Leo's treasures are you :shock: . Those stud adapters aren't the ones that caused the old Jeep to have the "Death Wobble" in the steering when he ran the Supper Swampers :?: , hell I followed him up Spooners one day and I thought the old girl was going to leave the road until he got to about 80kph and the she was smooth as. The "old White Jeep", is it still going????, Owe the memories, the time the 350 run the bearings about half way through the Day/Niter, we towed it through the touring stages and as far as we could through the special stages and then Leo would still drive it through the hard parts, Talk about KNOCK, and another time when we had to do a real tight course through the trees with points deducted for hitting any markers or trees Leo put the big JEEP through with a clear round, man he could drive that big pig.

REMINDS ME I MUST CLEAN MY SHEDS OUT,

Not all his treasures, just most...
Yep, those spacers.
The Cherokee is still going, now running a Chev diesel V8, under going a major bit of cosmetic surgery at the moment, to tidy up a few wrinkles fro the trees he didn't miss.
Leo is planning on making the move from the farm into town, He is looking at a place in Motueka at the moment.

Called on a customer yesterday and he had an 'Orchard Heater' sitting outside his workshop. Starting talking and I was saying you better make sure theres no trace of water in that when ya fire it up, and he pointed to the massive oil patch on the driveway about 7 metres in diameter, yup you guessed it, he had an explosion, just like the other ones I've seen with Pedro and Sig

great heating units, but to the potential buyer, make sure it oil only or even better, pure diesel from the gas station and outside away from vehicles, buildings, bush etc etc etc

just a friendly warning to those who are interested
