Pete Lewis Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 at the end of the day a 4 sync box is a better beast to throw money at a 3 sync is still used on heralds and early spits but wont have the 1600 input shaft 400 is having a laugh look up the price for a refurb from eg td fitchetts around £475 not a heap of rust at 400 ish crackers !!!! " get mine rebuilt " have you worn it out already ???? your d type OD will fit onto a 4 sync box so ong as it has a OD mainshaft eg tkc923 or similar that woud be the way to go ...next time Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonMember Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I would have thought that was a bit too far north for Marcus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I come from the Ulster-Scots tradition, but even their dialect / language, referred to as 'Ullans' makes no sense to read, unless you either read it out loud, or are very drunk. Here's an excerpt from Alice in Wonderland or as they call it, 'Alices Carrants in Wunnerlan': The Caterpillar an Alice lukt at ither fur a quare while wi’oot taakin: finally the Caterpillar tuk the hookah oot o its mooth, an spoke tae hir in a languid, dozy voice. “Wha ir yae?” said the Caterpillar. This wusnae a pooerfu guid openin fur a yarn. Alice answert brev an baakwardly, “A—A harly know, Sir, jest at this minute—at least A know wha A wus this moarnin, but heth, A hae bin changed a wheen o times since thin.” “What dae yae mean bae that?” said the Caterpillar sternly. “Explain yersel!” “A cannae explain maesel, A’m feart, Sir,” said Alice, “baecaas A’m naw maesel, yae see.” “A dinnae see,” said the Caterpillar. “A cannae mak it onie mair clear,” Alice answer, while polite, “fur A cannae unnerstan it maesel tae stairt wi; an baein sae monie different sizes in yin dae haes turnt mae heid.” Sometimes it can make a washing machine instruction booklet appear very simple in comparison.

Colin Lindsay Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Those instructions only show three wires, red black and green... and that one of yours has four of different colours, and not UK standard either... so I wouldn't even know where to start. There's absolutely nothing on the Net bar that Aussie one for sale on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
