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

Last month I went out to Zambia to help a friend out with his 716. Had a number of issues which needed sorting. I was out there working in 35 degree heat having left the UK with temps at around 8 degrees.

As you can see it was African style working. One of the local Lodges let us use their undercover facilities (Tin roof over the top) one of the guys as you can see is making axle stands for me. Had to pull the newly fitted transfer box out to rectify a selector sleeve which had been fitted the wrong way around. Along with rear axle oil seals leaking. just a couple of the many tasks that needed attention.

Couple of pictures along with us going out to investigate a bush fire

Couple more pictures

Love the stands!

Holy Cow!
If you want to come to Florida, I will have air con and better jack stands!

Funny enough the axle stands worked out quite well. I had an axle stand supporting the central tube, along with the trolly jack underneath most of the time. I should have got the guy to weld a couple of plates on the sides at the bottom but time was moving on and they were quite sturdy.

Some more pictures here. I took about 400 while I was out there
