Situation update. I was finally about to separate the filter from the housing. Little WD40, little heat and little rubber mallet proved to do the trick. The filters were surprisingly clean but I still needed to know. Cork gasket was there as well. Thanks to all

Site earlier today

When I opened mine up I didn't find a gasket either. Didn't know know it needed one till I saw the exploded view on a retail

It is the air filter I'm talking about. Used a rubber mallet, as suggested but would not budge After further investigation I think I found a seam around the filter. Going to try little atf and acetone...

Great idea...thanks Are the better quality ones available?

I did try tapping with the hammer handle, gently though. I'll breakout the rubber mallet and have at it. Another question while I'm here. The hose connecting the filter to the carburetor, should that be a hard plastic or flexible like a heater hose material. My looks rather newish but it's too...

Hello all, I was in the process of tuning up my 73 series 3 and I discovered something strange, at least to me. After removing the oil bath filter from the strapped in harness I found the whole unit in pretty good shape. Even the wire mess cartridge was still most clean ( maybe do to the fact of...

Well...I've got good new/ bad new, at least for me. I hit the area of chassis I was working on with wire wheel , used brake cleaner on surface the coated with a Rust-Oleum product for rusted surfaces. Decided on this product 1) availability 2) cost 3) what I felt as a good quality paint for my...

The metal seems pretty solid. In fact I really thought the gun did a nice job, better than I anticipated. Plan to hit with an angle grinder today to clean it up a bit before it gets too wet and snow comes. I took pics but I haven't been successful posting them, keep getting error message...

Hello everyone, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is looking forward to a great New Year. Today is a a mile stone for me. Santa graciously brought a needle scaler ( a galvanized chassis might have been nicer) , the weather was with me so I officially started stripping the chassis. I feel...

Turboman, the other day you spoke of a blown gasket. After your response to steve2286w I now understand just what you meant and how monitor /correct the situation .

I found what I believe to be the dipstick, twist out nut on left side. Maybe it was me, hose just looked like it was attached providing some purpose . thanks

At the advice of a member while I haven't really start to restore, I decided to taking some to enjoy the vehicle before anything major. Maintenance which could have neglected for needs to be addressed. After an oil change I moved to the OD. Being unfamiliar with the unit I researched for info...

Those words are true to more in life than just land rovers.

What are your thoughts on the oil itself? Do you think it should be the gl-4 or gl-5. A cheaper generic brand or more name brand? I looked at Staylube for the gl-4 rating... expensive but not sure if if worth the extra money be I'm so unsure of pass maintenance

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for clarifying Turboman I was reading another Landyzone OD thread and it sounded to me that the OD and transfer box connected this filling at same time. I still poking my way around trying to learn what goes where.

If I change the oil in the OD an I changing the oil in the transfer case as well at the same time.

Thank you. So I guess the next order of business check out the OD and give it some fresh lubricant. And just to be clear the OD should be used only in 3rd &4TH
