the all aussie dribble thread!

[husq2100]

if its a traditional Land Rover, that includes new ones, (not a later range rover, disco 2 3 4 or freelander) the only reason a wheel would "fall off" is because of abuse, neglect or stupidity! they are a full floating axle design. Anything can be broken, stupid normally wins....

G'day blokes, new member here though I've been lurking and gathering info for a while. I picked up this old beast from a local mower shop. Hoping someone can ID it for me, numbers on the tag are 1106 314153. Cheers

my bet would be those patrols having a wheel come off are mostly semi floating rears. Im pretty sure Nissan had some semi and some full floating rears depending on model?

More a traditional LR, built on stock standard ute back with dual cab, diesel, standard looking tyres & rims.

The time I saw it on the side of the rd. with his Mrs. driving the front left wheel nuts appeared to have come off, just on the edge of a largish town btw. She didn't look happy !

Neighbour heard it going into town that day, said it was making a hell of a racket and knew something was wrong.

1st time same corner of LR, on tow truck going past, didn't notice what problem was but guessing it was the same.

My opinion, based on observations of many similiar situations is that the wheel nuts didn't match the rim.

 

[VinceGU05]

no its just wheel nuts self undoing. it was certain wheels that were doing it.

gday steve. looks like ya got yaself a 090 or a 070 (depends on the bore size)

 

[husq2100]

ha! one wheel nut, miss matched wheel nuts etc etc etc and its a "poor design or LR fault"......

Never have I had a single wheel nut "undo" in 25 years of LR vehicle ownership...or a wheel fall off

 

[Creeker]

Welcome Steve, yep, looks like 070 or 090, 090's were more common as far as I know, looks pretty
clean/unmarked. Give you $50 for it, you pay freight to Vic of course

H2100, LOL, fishings good today

Of course you are right, but twice in a row, once would be mind blowing, twice I'd kick myself in the
a@se pretty hard !!

Not tensioned up correctly Vince ?

 

[husq2100]

ill admit LR QC is not to the standards of the Japs, but for the most part their "designs" are equal or better.

wheel nut tension is definitely over looked. I always do mine with a Torque wrench when not on "side of road" then those are redone at home.

 

[Steve670]

Cheers Vince I got the saw without a top end

Cheers Creeker it's not for sale, looking forward to getting it running

that comes into it. also the alloys seemed to be a common denominator. and not checking wheel nuts after a wheel change 100km later. 9/10 its the left rear. i swing off mine with a breaker bar.. never had a problem so far. 100nm seems a bit light on to me.

That would be a Contra / Lightning (106cc version) you have there!.....Note the green 1106 model tag on the crankcase.

 

[Steve670]

Cheers scallywag, does an 090 top end bolt straight on? Anyone know of a good aftermarket top end kit for this saw?

The last of the Contras would except either the 106 or 137 cc top ends, yours appears to be the earlier version that would only take the 106cc cylinder.

Any idea what happened to the original parts?......To restore it back to a Contra you would need a Heat shroud, Red top cover (available aftermarket), Muffler with clip, Contra style starter, etc.

That worked well!.....Not!

 

[Steve670]

Thanks again scallywag, don't know what happened to the original parts, I bought the saw minus all top end parts.
Is there a trick to getting the clutch off? The nut is off but the clutch doesn't seem to budge.

Cheers
