Hj61, 12HT Common oil leaks

[Oldtoy74]

Your bar is exactly like what I have,

 

[VX 12HT]

Yeh it's grown on me replaced the wire with synthetic rope on the winch saved a heap of weight just doing that ,used it a couple of times, I love the pto winch won't be giving it up anytime soon.

I had 3' exhaust on the previous rig with 2H-t and pto.
A bit tight, but no problem.
I'll see if I can dig up a picture!!

I'm assuming you guys have 5 speeds in your rigs? Any of you still got your pto set up with a 3" exhaust, I've noticed the space in donor with the 3" is very small to work around the pto set up in main rig

Its tight... but still room for a bit flex both ways.

As you can see, its routed above the pto drive shaft.

What size rubber are you running?? Looks like a good fit

What's going on with your sump cover?

 

[VX 12HT]

That's good I would like to put a 3 inch system on my pto equipped car one day I think TimHJ61 has put one on his hj61 with pto as well.

What's going on with your sump cover?

Previous rig, this one.
What do you mean, sump cover?
The reinforcement under the oil pan?
It was nothing wrong with it, just faded red.

I've just not seen a sump cover like that before.

I think it's a typical 2H sump. Solid skid plate.
I'm pretty sure the 12HT has the same one, plus the extra stiffening plate in between. I'll have a look this weekend, gonna clean it up a bit.

 

[Oldtoy74]

Are you saying that's a factory plate under sump?? , I've never seen one like that either??

 

[TLC Norway]

I'm pretty sure it's been there forever, but who knows...
But the 12HT does not have it.

Update, I've nailed down all the leaks in my rig
- oil pan just needed to be tightened up
- rear crank seal done while doing box conversion, it didn't look like needing but did it anyway
- front crank seal done
- Intake manifold, this gasket was toast , hard & brittle
- h55f replaced idler shaft and all seals in transfer

That's a standard 2h sump. Mines exactly the same. When I first bought the old girl my mate was impressed by the custom skid plate but it's factory

Revamping an old thread.

Does anyone out there have a diagram of the 12HT oil flow.
I am in the process of rebuilding a 12HT and the oild cooler is quite muckey inside. I have flushed it with varius solvent and its a whole bunch better but I still get the odd bit of grit coming out.
2 questions:
Which side of the filter is the oil cooler on?? between pump and filter or after filter.
what cleaning process/solvent would you recomend??.

If it's between the pump and filter, then I don't have to be as anal about the cleanliness , if it's after then I have more work to do.
