Following recent purchase of a 1962 Series IIA 88" diesel, any advice prior to firing it up for the first time in a couple of years ? (LHD, if that makes any difference).
Thought I'd clean filters, drain tank, reconnect wires (are they in the right place - close to starter and alternator, surely they go onto starter ?):
Also slight rear suspension worries, see photos. Any thoughts ? Is that collapsed/ wrong-size spring/ chassis bend/ anything else ?
