He was planning bar treads from memory, I'll try to find his number again. Might be worth contacting the bloke in Vic and finding out where he got them.

Minimum order of 20, we could almost do that between us at that price, I also know three other goat owners I could try and sell a set to. Got links? I know there was a bloke in qld that was having moulds made to produce 10.50r18s as a last resort.

I’m still looking for tires, the Coker tires are tempting but I can’t justify the cost.

I was going to post some pictures but can't work out how to add them now.....

My goat is now running well but the tires are so dry rotted that I'm afraid to drive it on busy roads, or go far from the house. I need to find 6 very good tires and get them to California, shipping to Aus from there is easy so long as the tires are clean, if they have dirt and dust on them...

Mine will get to 60 now, takes a while to get there though.

The fact that you got all the drums off is a MAJOR win, took me two days to get to that point. I welded up bands of steel strapping to slip over the shoes allowing the brakes to be bled with the drums still off. I have a vacuum bleeder too and found it to be utterly useless on the goat. Feel...

A winch is like a gun or a condom, better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

No progress yet, getting some decent tires on it is the current priority.

So I pulled the pump off again and sat it side by side with the pump from the old transfer case, identical in design and condition, when the plungers were operated by hand, both pumps worked well and developed good suction at the intake, no discernible differences at all. And yet, when I...

Mmmm, lucky you, a winch would be great!

The bore looks ok and the original spring looked ok too so I used it. I think I'll install the pump from the old transfer, I put a much bigger and stronger spring in that one, it was working well but too late to save the bearings.

If I can find a pump that's suitable then I'd definitely consider it.

Grrr, this goat will be the death of me. Got in to take it for a drive and transfer pump has lost prime again, 2-3 mins in 4th gear and neutral intransfer didn't bring it back, what a terrible design it is.

Where did these come from? I'm desperate for new tires, mine are falling apart. Feel free to PM me if you like.

A productive day, I pulled the oil line from the old transfer and found it had a tapered aluminium fitting on the copper line, rather than the round brass one on the new case, I installed it on the new case and the fit was much better. On on a whim I decided to extend the transparent part of...

We do have Lucas and there is a bottle of it in the transfer case. I have pulled the pump off and it's fine internally but I noticed the suction line going to the bottom of the transfer is quite wobbly despite the nut being tight. I'm thinking possibly the olive on the copper has been poorly...

No wonder these transfer cases fail, maybe 20 miles on my brand new transfer case and the oil pump has stopped working already. I haven't pull it off yet to find the problem.

She's alive.

Deal. I'll trade you a drive of the goat for a drive of the deuce!
