oh sorry, didnt think of that.  will have a look tomorrow when i look at everything else! lol

Rangie3.0LtrDan:
ok, the hand accelerator is on a rod so it looks, so am scrapping that idea already lol

You have a 24volt ffr (fitted for radio), should have a couple of ammeters fitted, one for the main vehicle batterys, the other for signal batteries that would be mounted in the back, although not sure with the age, I used Larkspur but they changed the configuration for clansman

Hand throttle is used for static running for battery charging, you should not need it normally

Do you have one or 2 batteries under that box in the cab?

Also take a couple of pics of the engine bay if you can

Rangie3.0LtrDan:
its 2 batteries in the middle, and there is a dirty massive 24v alternator lol, will take some piccies of engine bay tomorrow :D

hobbit:
Yep you have a 24v landy there, just remember all the things you want to put on it will cause problems, you could convert to 12v, or run a seperate circuit for accessories.

Also things like spark plugs, bulbs, starters are all 24 volt.

It depends on what you want to do with it, although I've never converted one there is a few articles floating around on the net of people that have done the conversions, iirc, one of the landy mags did an article on it, I'm sure someone can help there

The engine might be used more than the speedo says, going by the tac plate on the front, S2, denotes a communication vehicle, and may have had a lot of static running.

But on the bright side if the engine was well worn there is a good chance it has had replacement units in it too

They are good old machines when all said and done, and can take some use to break them though
