Yes I've got one of these. Great bit of kit. Anything you need to know just ask. Must have had mine 10 years now.

Any chance you would have a few pics of the diff lock mechanism behind the brake disc. One on this is bent and think a bit of it is missing

On mine the difference lock is activated with your heel on right foot. Can't remember what happens underneath, something on top of axle.
Got some pictures on here or other forum of the talk converter, might just show different lock

I'M in no way an expert on these machines but they look like a decent bit of kit so what happened to them?
