glad i have stumbled across this.
My Dad has just bought himself a Muir Hill 171 fitted with a Boughton winch. I think it would have originally been a military vehicle.
Its fairly complete and in reasonableish order, but being a stranger to them we could do with some pointers.
It has a 10 speed transmission, 5 + reverse on the centee stick and high-low on right side of the cab, but, there are some other things we cant seem to work out yet.
When sitting in the seat, behind your left heel (clutch leg) there is a lever which mover straight up and down, is this the 4WD or are they permanent 4WD? is the small pedal between the clutch and brake pedal the Diff Lock?
It has Perkins V8 fitted, is it an At510 or a 540?
Did the Ag spec ones have air brakes or is this an Army spec option?
Also anyone know of where i could get a window for the cab door?
yes, the push pull lever behind your left heel is the 4wd dis-engage,
its a 540 perkins
the air brakes must be an army spec standard are conventional hydraulic
you could get a window cut by any plant glass replacement companies..google it
yes, middle pedal is diff lock for both axles.
can you post some pictures? is it a series 2 or 3?
