THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Probably difficult to find in the US, but you can always put Fiat / Lada / Lancia / Alfa Romeo 98x4 PDC rims in 13 or 14 inch and then what ever tyres you can source for those.
Originals are 12 inch so unlikely to have a vast selection of rims or tyres available.

"Nice original condition" - except for the wheels! There is one "original" Semperit 12 x 165 wheel and tyre, the rest are aftermarket and not even the vaguely original Mayola alternatives. Did they supply hydraulic bottle jacks with American Pathfinder imports or is that another ...

Clean the Carb jets, Points = 0.4mm, change the fuel filter if it is full of rubbish. If it full of rubbish consider draining and cleaning the petrol tank as there is little else that is as annoying as having to stop whilst out to clean the Carb jets because it starts coughing and spluttering and la...

The operators handbook has a chart detailing the service intervals and quantities / products to use if that's what you require. Level ground required. Basically, engine oil changes 1200 miles - engine warm, drain plug out, oil into container to be disposed of correctly. whilst that is draining, drai...

Things to look at - wiggle - tap etc, The Diff guards The axle travel limit straps The metal cups covering the Rezepa joint (CV) The pivot pins between the swing arms and the Diff mountings. Shock absorbers (covers - and possible leakage of oil causing no or inefficient damping) The various rods, jo...

I would cut them down to the original length if you know what that is, mainly because there is oil in the hubs which is splash fed to the two bearings. If you put something in the way, you may change the distribution of the oil delivery - which "MIGHT" have bad effects on the bearings late...

You like a challenge, don't you!

Biggest issue with having a HI-LIFT jack is where to use it on a Haflinger, as already mentioned, the side rails although very inviting to use are just folded sheet steel and likely to bend! There is a UK Haflinger which had the platform rebuilt using box section for the rails and so can use a HI-LI...

Only issue you have using a steam cleaner is that you have to re-proof again if you are cleaning a canvas top. If it is plastic, then you run the risk of melting a hole in it when you get a stubborn spot!

Make a mark on the adjustment disk near the gear leaver tower so you can always go back to what you currently have. Put it in neutral. Loosen the bolts. Hold the gearbox side of the disc still. Get someone to hold the gear lever all the way to right (looking forward from the back of the vehicle) in ...

Is a stock rim wide enough for them to fit correctly? What sort of diameter overall? Could make a significant difference to either Top speed or to torque available if they are very different in overall diameter.

Maybe buy one and try?

Track kits are about Euro 5,500! Would need to get Haflinger specific driving hubs to bolt on to the original Haflinger hubs, as these are originally made for ATV and side by sides.


They apparently work on all surfaces, so could be used in mud, rocks, snow etc.

If I didn't already have two, I would be very tempted by this - Why hasn't some one bought it already?
