There is a scan of an old advert for a Series 1 fitted with a possibly PTO driven welder generator by Land Rover from the factory.

Does anyone on here have one, or ever seen one?

I would like to see photos if any still exist.

Never seen one in the flesh only pictures of them.

I do have a photo of one somewhere, see if I can find it. Thing is due to the cost not many were made and of those most were retuned to normal trucks in later life.

From memory it was like a big paper bin strapped to the engine. Can’t remember if it was belt driven.

Centre pto with belts through the floor into load space to drive the welder, was one on ebay several months ago.

Just imagine the petrol fuel consumption! might need a governor as well?

The best known one is owned by Richard Lines . These pages are from the book “ Original Land Rover Series One “ by James Taylor .

Unfortunately it was seriously damaged in a barn fire in 2019 . Whether it is being rebuilt is a question I can’t answer .

Thanks for the replies.

I notice in the book scan that it says it was supplied with a face shield, wire brush and chipping hammer included.
