Don’t double loop it

Which in turn makes me think of Felicity Kendal.

I have a nice capstan winch. They are great. Who needs a silly little electric motor when you have a V8 winch?

As an aside, why 4x2?

IIRC not all LR are 4x4

I know some series motors were made 4x2 for the military, I think particularly the RAF

 

[rosinante]

The 4 x 2 Series 2 were army only , good sales pitch by land rover , they cost more than the 4 x 4 s
Only 274 were made and only a very few remain , there were S1 and S3 4 x2 as well again very few survive,
A search on the Internet show the bull bar fairlead is designed for a 90,110 Defender so will either get sold or modified to suit ,

I thought that’s what you’d have but there’s some oddball 4x2 conversions running around too

 

[Seadog]

And this is the machine I brought

That's a beauty. From what I can, or can't see, that's a bit of a rare beast. Do you know which model it is?

A lot of those 4x2`s had an lsd as standard which overcame traction problems. Nice winch

Most of them are Freelanders with the IRD removed

 

[rosinante]

Googled the the winch , it's a defender fitment complete, it can be made to work on the series, in a quandary , do Isell the whole thing on or break out the welder and grinder , I just knew my bubble would burst , grrr

All the steel needed to build my hydraulic bench-top press, all measured and cut to length by a very nice man in Inverness - he even carried it to the car for me!

Cheap at £40, I thought.

Don't no yet. I will find the number that's normally stamped in the end of the bed.

There's B all on the lathes site. In fact he says that anything pre 1935 is rather rare. I can't see any images that match your lathe.
