it looks like something to adjust the tick over when your running farm machinery off the engine

Ahh - the hand throttle control wotsit? Cheers
its a hand throttle idle lever alright and i have on the back of me gearbox some king of spline output shaft connector ( cone shaped cast thing with a roller needle bearing inside with one end open )
im pretty sure its some kind of coupling for a pto shaft it must have had fitted at one point or some kind of winch drive shaft used to slot into it
funny though it dont leak any oil out of it but the gearbox /transfer boxes are full

This link here reckons there should be a number on the bulkhead but I have never seen one also I have read reports of number being on top of chassis rail at front,and also at right rear by spring hanger.Typical landy really anything goes!

it dont got a number plate nor a v5c its come off a sheep farm where it has never had a reg for the last 30 years ( known history by the fella that owned it and inherited it from his dad )
im doing all this to try and find out what agew it really is and also if the original reg is trundling round on a defender hybrid somewhere illegaly thats my little way of sticking it to the criminal underworld ( if its non existant ) such as scrap or export or just lost in the abyss of time i could apply for an age related reg
the last thing i want is a fekkin q plate or to have to buy a chassis with id from some thieveing scumbag
