Hi again Just briefly... 1. How do I make sure the pto is disengaged? Handle forwards or backwards? 2. Is there any possibility at all that the vehicle could have a negative earth? I ask because the battery leads have the correct size terminals for negative earth (is the earth slightly fatter?), anyway the battery fits this way round, also the previous owner says that it is so, and that his Super Major also has the negative going to the chassis, also this is how we started it up! Having said that, my first ever job was driving an ERF 16 tonner that had a five-cylinder Gardner diesel in it which would run backwards after a fashion if you happened to stop cranking it at just the wrong moment. Entertaining to discover that you had ten reverse gears, and alarming to think about just how effective the oil pump was running backwards... Cheers everyone and have a good weekend J-P PS Brian, as you're a Brit, did you ever notice any anachronistic ERF 'A' series wagons on the road during the mid 80's?
